Stockton, CA (November 26, 2021) – On Wednesday, November 24, a 15-year-old boy was hit by a car while riding his bicycle near an intersection in Stockton. The incident was reported near the intersection of March Lane and Quail Lakes Drive.
The driver who struck the boy reportedly fled the scene shortly after the crash occurred. A video taken of the incident shows an SUV that turns right at the intersection apparently unaware of a number of bicyclists traveling in the area. The SUV then hits the 15-year-old boy.

Pedestrian Collisions in California
California pedestrian accidents happen at an alarming rate. Due to the high population and tourism rate in the Golden State, people walking and riding bikes are seen much more often than in some other states. Pedestrians are the most vulnerable travelers on the roadways at any given time due to the fact that they are completely unprotected. If involved in an accident, a pedestrian often suffers more severe and debilitating injuries than those who are hurt while riding in vehicles.
