Bicyclist Sustains Serious Injuries After Collision on Angeles Crest Highway

A bicyclist was seriously injured after being struck from behind by a car on the Angeles Crest Highway Tuesday evening, authorities said.

A bicyclist suffered serious injuries and will be transported to Huntington Memorial Hospital after he was struck from behind by a car while riding on the Angeles Crest Highway Tuesday night, a sheriff's official said.

The 30-year-old male, who is a resident of Oregon, was hit from behind while riding his bike east on the ACH, said Lt. Angela Shepard of the Crescenta Valley Sheriff's Station. Authorities received an emergency call at 5:44 p.m., she said.

"I don't know who's fault it was," Shepard said. "The car that was behind him hit him."

Shepard did not know the extent of the bicyclist's injuries, describing them only as "major." The bicyclist's injuries were caused by the collision and he was not knocked over the railing, she said.

Yikes! Last Wednesday I meet a bike rider who said he was from Oregon who was biking Angeles Crest and dropped in to Crystal Lake for lunch and to check it out for the first time. Golly, if got the guy's name but the article doesn't mention it. Hate to think it's the same guy.

Hope the bike rider will recuperate well. Sorry to say but it is dangerous enough to drive an automobile on our highways and streets let alone a bicycle. In my opinion bike riders should stick to carefully delineated bike lanes and not ride alongside cars. With the proliferation of bike riders there will be more accidents.

Poor guy. Hope he recovers! Anyone that knows anything about Angeles Crest is that there are no bike lanes up there. Bikes have every right on the road as do vehicles and that's not an opinion. Not sure how a bike gets rear-ended and we're not sure who's fault it is. If it was a car or motorcycle were rear-ended, there wouldn't be a question.

All the two wheeled crashes lately....makes one say....don't ride it if has only two wheels. The ACH seems to be in an angry mood....

To answer your statement, we did look for over 2 hours. Not assumption of fact, it was lost eitherRead More in the establishment or just outside it.

We spoke with the restaurant and they were so very helpful and kind to help us look. Already did asRead More you suggested. I already spoke with the police station and the military. It's understandable that someone wouldn't know what to do with it if found and that's why my friend, in hopes to assisting me, has posted these and others around.

A little inappropriate to have to read if those happened to be your cats.
ROBERT E. FISHBACK May 23, 2013 at 02:39 pm
I can well empathsize with your loss. First thing, can you remember taking it off anywhere? DidRead More you wash your hands anywhere, soap makes fingers slippery. Did it fit well or was it a little loose? Running makes the arms swing. Strange as it may seem, it may still be in or on your own property. There are still honest people, call the desk of every business you went to. Also, call every pawn shop in your area and report. Good luck. If its any comfort, I found a diamond studded tie tack when I gazed at the soil in my garden and saw it. Keep us posted. b

Thank you so much. I definitely should not have been wearing it... it has been loose for a coupleRead More of years now. I'm hoping that it is on my property otherwise I am at the grace of good honest people... Thank you for your suggestions and I have filed a lost property report and I will definitely call the local pawn shops. Keeping it in perspective and at the end of the day it is just an object, but I'm definitely hoping that it finds its way back.
ROBERT E. FISHBACK May 25, 2013 at 03:21 pm
Loose for a couple of years....you have been dieting If you worked in your yard on thatRead More day...rent or get a metal detector.
