Man Hospitalized after Fresno Bicycle Crash on Auberry Road near Copper Avenue

Fresno, California (April 28, 2020) – One person was seriously injured in a bicycle accident on Tuesday afternoon in Fresno, according to the California Highway Patrol.

The crash occurred at about 3:30 p.m. on Auberry Road near Copper Avenue.

According to the police, a bicyclist, cycling an electric mountain bike, for unknown reasons, drifted onto the pathway of a utility work truck approaching from behind.

The truck driver reportedly tried to swerve left to avoid hitting the cyclist, but unfortunately, the truck struck the cyclist with the side mirror on his head.

The cyclist sustained moderate to major injuries and was taken to Community Regional Medical Center for treatment.

Drugs or alcohol were not a factor in the crash.

No further details about the crash were immediately available.

The accident remains under investigation.

“Far too many bicycle collisions are caused by the carelessness or recklessness of other motorists. Sadly, when this occurs, motorcyclists are the ones who tend to suffer the vast majority of injuries”, according to Arin Khodaverdian, Managing Partner and CEO Alpine Law Group. Under California’s rule of comparative negligence, a victim may be able to collect compensation for injuries and other damages even if you were partly at fault for the accident.

Mr. Khodaverdian has worked for many years as a wrongful death and personal injury attorney. He and his team of attorneys has helped thousands of injury victims and their families recover over $100 million in compensation. “In one case, we recovered a 7-figure settlement within 11 business days of being hired by the family of a victim who was killed by a negligent driver.”

Swift action by an experienced attorney helps preserve evidence, interview witnesses, and begin to pursue those responsible for the incident.
