A 44-year-old Costa Mesa woman has been seriously injured after colliding with a car, according to a news report.
Costa Mesa police said that the bicyclist was struck by a 2007 Honda Accord driving by a 48-year-old Costa Mesa man. The Accord was traveling east on Bay Street and then turned right onto southbound Newport Beach Blvd. when the driver said he heard a crash. The bicyclist was trapped under the Accord, which had to be lifted off her by emergency workers.
The unidentified bicyclist was taken to Western Medical Center in Santa Ana with head and chest trauma and a broken arm. She was in critical condition. Police said the driver did not appear to be under the influence of alcohol or drugs, and he was released.
