Two Brea Canyon High students were rushed to a trauma center when their speeding single-person E-bike crashed into a brick wall in Brea, authorities said today.
The rider suffered significant, life-threatening injuries, and the passenger suffered major injuries. Neither were wearing a helmet, according to Brea police Lt. Chris Harvey. The age and gender of the teens was not disclosed.
Officers responded at 2:15 p.m. Tuesday to reports of an injury collision on State College Boulevard near Avocado Street, Harvey said.
The single-person E-bike was speeding south on the west sidewalk on State College Boulevard from Lambert Road when the handlebar clipped a tree, causing them to go out of control and strike a brick wall, he said.
