According to several news outlets, a bicycle rider was taken to the hospital after an accident involving a truck and the driver possibly opening the door inadvertently.
The reports from the California Highway Patrol show that the accident happened on Seventh Avenue and that it’s still quite uncertain if the rider struck the truck’s door accidentally or if the driver opened the door without noticing the woman’s presence.
The biker was riding along a group around 8:40 a.m. near Dolores Street when she struck the truck’s open door and was thrown off the bike. She sustained severe injuries after the incident and was taken to the hospital immediately according to official reports.
The authorities are still investigating whether there were any other causes behind this collision or not. No details related to the other bikers or witnesses were reported.
A personal injury lawyer could be of important assistance to all individuals who have been involved in bicycle accidents but don’t know whether they’re entitled to be represented or not.
As a personal injury attorney in Long Beach I sincerely wish a speedy recovery for the bicycle rider severely struck last Saturday and hope that the California Highway Patrol will uncover all reasons behind this accident.
