According to a CHP police report, on Saturday, April 14th, 2018, at around 10:09 pm, one person was injured following a traffic collision involving a cyclist and a vehicle on the N Mission Rd on-ramp to the SB I-5 freeway in the city of Los Angeles.
Based off the police report, a cyclist was struck by a silver Hyundai Elantra on the on-ramp to the southbound I-5 Freeway. The identities of the driver of the vehicle and the cyclist were not disclosed; however, the report did state that the victim was male and that he was conscious after the accident.
The on-ramp was blocked as authorities worked to transport the injured party.
In addition, it was unclear of the extent of the victim’s injuries, but the victim was transported to the nearby LA County USC Medical Center by medical personnel. Authorities have not yet released any information on the injured party at this time.
Currently, this crash remains under investigation as authorities work to determine the exact cause and liable party in the crash.
Further details will be reported at a later time once the investigation has concluded.
Our May Firm staff is deeply saddened upon hearing news of this accident, and will keep the victim as well as their family and loved ones in our thoughts and prayers during this tremendously difficult time.
Unfortunately, even if you are the safest and most cautious cyclist in the world, it is still possible to be injured because of a car, truck or motorcycle driver who is not paying close enough attention. We hope the bicyclist undergoes a speedy recovery in the aftermath of this hit-and-run crash.
