Teen Bicyclist Injured in Sacramento’s Southeast Village Collision

Teen Bicyclist Injured in Southeast Village Collision

Teen bicyclist injured and hospitalized after being struck by a car on Monday morning, June 9, 2025, in Sacramento’s Southeast Village neighborhood. Emergency responders were dispatched around 8:08 a.m. to the intersection of 75th Street and Elder Creek Road.

Cause of the Crash Remains Under Investigation

As of now, the cause of the collision has not been determined. Authorities are continuing their investigation to gather details on how the incident occurred. The injured teenager was transported to a nearby hospital for medical treatment, according to radio communications from emergency responders.

Importance of Helmet Use for Bicycle Safety

In California, helmet use is mandatory for all cyclists under the age of 18 and strongly recommended for adults. Wearing a properly fitted helmet is one of the most effective ways to reduce the risk of head injuries in the event of a crash. Helmets need to be positioned flat on the head, about two finger widths above the eyebrows. The straps should create a secure “V” shape around the ears and should fit snugly beneath the chin.

Tips for Sharing the Road Safely with Motor Vehicles

Cyclists can enhance their safety on the road by following key precautions. Always ride with the flow of traffic, obey all traffic signals, and use hand signals when turning or stopping. Stay visible by wearing bright or reflective clothing, especially during early morning or evening rides. Avoid riding in a vehicle’s blind spots, and make eye contact with drivers at intersections to ensure they see you. Defensive riding and awareness of surroundings can significantly reduce the risk of accidents.
