Pasadena man critically injured in crash between two bicyclists

PASADENA — A collision between two bicyclists left a 20-year-old Pasadena man fighting for his life at a hospital Sunday, authorities said.
The head-on crash between the man and a 17-year-old bicyclist took place just after 6 p.m. Saturday on Mountain Street at Garfield Avenue, Pasadena police Lt. Jason Clawson said.
The first officials to arrive at the scene found the man unconscious, the lieutenant said. “He appeared to be suffering from severe head trauma.”
He was taken to Huntington Hospital in Pasadena where he was in “severely critical condition,” Clawson said.
The teenage boy, also a Pasadena resident, suffered “little to no injuries” in the crash, he said.
Initial investigation revealed the man was westbound on Mountain Street with the flow of traffic and the teen was riding east on on Mountain Street against the flow of traffic when they collided head-on, Clawson said. The older rider, who was not believed to be wearing a helmet, struck his head on the pavement.
An investigation into the cause of the crash was ongoing.
