Bicyclist critical after Pico Rivera crash
PICO RIVERA -- A bicyclist was hospitalized in critical condition Sunday after a collision with a vehicle on Rosemead Boulevard, authorities said.
The crash occurred about 3:10 p.m. on the boulevard at Manzanar Avenue Drive, Los Angeles County Sheriff's Sgt. Juan Chavez said.
The injured bicyclist, a 48-year-old Los Angeles man, was taken to Los Angeles County-USC Medical Center for treatment, he said.
He suffered significant abrasions and complained he had back pain and could not feel his arms and legs, Chavez said.
The crash occurred as the bicyclist was trying to make a left turn from Manzanar Avenue onto Rosemead Boulevard, Chavez said.
A Nissan pickup truck being driven by a Montebello man in his late 60s clipped the rear tire of the bicycle, causing the bicyclist to fall, the lieutenant said.
The initial investigation indicated the bicyclist made an unsafe turn, and the truck driver was not cited, he said.
