BREA (CNS) – Two Brea Canyon High students were rushed to a trauma center when their speeding single-person E-bike crashed into a brick wall in Brea, authorities said Thursday.
The rider suffered significant, life-threatening injuries and the passenger suffered major injuries. Neither were wearing a helmet, according to Brea police Lt. Chris Harvey. The age and gender of the teens was not disclosed.
Officers responded at 2:15 p.m. Tuesday to reports of an injury collision on State College Boulevard near Avocado Street, Harvey said.
The single-person E-bike was speeding south on the west sidewalk on State College Boulevard from Lambert Road when the handlebar clipped a tree, causing them to go out of control and strike a brick wall, he said.
“The Brea Police Department and Brea Olinda Unified School District extend their thoughts and support to the family and friends of the injured and are grateful for the passersby who stopped to render aid,” he said. “Brea Olinda Unified School District counselors and staff will be offering support to the students and their families as they recover from their injuries.”
