BPD: Juvenile bicyclist collides with vehicle, dies

A boy riding a bicycle died at the hospital to which he was taken on Wednesday after he collided with a vehicle in northeast Bakersfield, according to the Bakersfield Police Department.

The driver, identified only as a man, was going west on Columbus Street and the bicyclist was going south on Loyola Street when they collided at 2:54 p.m., BPD said in a news release.

The driver remained at the scene and cooperated with the investigation, BPD said, noting that alcohol, drugs and speed don't appear to be factors in the collision.

The juvenile's name is to be released by the coroner's office.

Police ask that anyone with information call 661-327-7111.

Mustangs hit houses all the time, sadly, but it's rare we see an accident like this one in Chino, California with the pony car flying through the air, crashing into a house's second story. The hit was so violent it ripped a hole into the house and scared neighbors, one of them saying he thought maybe it was an earthquake. Watch a Mustang owner crash a Ferrari.
