LAKE LOS ANGELES, Los Angeles County, Calif., Nov. 6, 2026 — A cyclist was injured on Thursday evening, November 5, in a collision with a pickup truck on 167th Street East just north of Avenue O, according to the California Highway Patrol.
The crash was first reported around 7:07 p.m. as a black Dodge Ram involved in a collision with a bicyclist. A follow-up log entry corrected the description to a dirt bike, and later notes referred to the other vehicle as a "pocket bike," so it remains unclear from the available information whether a pedal bicycle, a dirt bike, or a pocket bike was involved. That detail had not been clarified in later updates.
The crash blocked all lanes on 167th Street East just north of Avenue O for a time. A tow truck was requested from the scene, and the CHP's rotation list was contacted to arrange the tow, with High Desert Towing eventually dispatched. The log does not specify the extent of the rider's injuries.
It was not immediately clear whether anyone involved was taken to a hospital. The circumstances of the collision, including what led the vehicle and the bike to collide, remain under investigation.
We wish the injured a complete and speedy recovery.
