On April 1st, 2015 at approximately 7:43 pm, Antioch Police Officers were dispatched to a vehicle collision at the intersection of Cavallo Rd and E 18th St.
Upon arrival, officers located a bicyclist down on the ground with a head injury. Con-fire and AMR responded to the scene and the victim, a 48 Year old Antioch male, was transported to a local area hospital with injuries that were not believed to be life threatening.
The driver of the vehicle that collided with the bicyclist remained on scene and cooperated with the investigating officers.
Our preliminary investigation indicates that the bicyclist was riding E/B across the northbound and southbound lanes of Cavallo Rd. The vehicle, traveling northbound on Cavallo Rd., collided with the bicyclist who was thrown from the bicycle. Drugs or alcohol did not appear to be a factor in the collision.
