A person riding an electric bicycle was critically injured in a collision with a vehicle driven by a suspected drunk driver in Imperial Beach, authorities said Sunday.
Deputies were dispatched at 2:40 a.m. Saturday to the intersection of Imperial Beach Boulevard and California Street, where a silver Chevrolet Malibu had struck the bicyclist, said Sgt. Luis Carrillo of the San Diego Sheriff’s Office.
Paramedics provided medical aid at the scene, then rushed the critically injured victim, described only as a minor, to a hospital, Carrillo said.
He said the driver of the Malibu remained at the scene, cooperated with investigators, and was arrested on suspicion of DUI.
Anyone with any information regarding the crash was urged to call the sheriff’s Imperial Beach station at 619-498-2400.
