NORTH HIGHLANDS, Sacramento County, Calif., Nov. 3, 2026 — A child riding an e-bike was seriously hurt on Monday morning, November 2, in a crash with a car at North Loop Boulevard and Don Julio Boulevard.

Frequently Asked Questions
What injuries are most common when a vehicle strikes a bicyclist or e-bike rider?
Riders frequently suffer head and neck injuries, broken bones, and internal injuries, since they have little protection compared to someone inside a car.
What usually causes these kinds of crashes at intersections?
Drivers running red lights or stop signs, failing to yield, or not seeing a rider in time are common factors in crashes between vehicles and cyclists.
Why are children on bikes especially at risk in traffic?
Young riders can be harder for drivers to spot, may misjudge vehicle speed, and usually cross intersections in ways that are harder to predict than an adult cyclist.
