At 5:15 pm Wednesday, the East Contra Costa Fire Protection District responded to a report of a vehicle versus youth on a bicycle on Main Street and E. Cypress Road.
Firefighters arrived to the scene to find the 14-year-old on the ground. Firefighters quickly assessed the injuries and determined a medical helicopter was needed because of a leg fracture to the males right femur.
Engine 94 responded to assist with the helicopter spot off Picasso where the male was air transported to Children’s Hospital in Oakland.
The driver remained on scene and cooperated with police.

I wish children didn’t think they were any kind of a match for a 3 thousand pound car. Yesterday morning trying to get down cypress during morning school rush, 3 kids, 2 boys and a girl came tearing across all 4 lanes of traffic on bikes. No crosswalk, just acted like we could all just get out of their way. It is so scary. I hope the boy is ok, but I also really feel for the driver, because sometimes there just isn’t any way to avoid a disaster.
There wasn’t an ambulance there? Did they put him in the fire engine?
Yes there was an ambulance and the boy was inside, it took 10 minutes for the red OutReach helicopter to arrive in front of my house and with in minutes the boy was whisked away to medical attention
