E-Bike Accidents in California
E-bikes are becoming increasingly popular in California, especially in urban areas like San Diego, where they offer an alternative mode of transportation. However, the rise in e-bike usage also means more accidents involving cyclists and motor vehicles. These accidents can lead to severe injuries, especially when cyclists are ejected from their bikes, as in this case.
While many accidents occur due to distracted driving or failure to yield, it’s essential for both drivers and cyclists to remain aware of their surroundings to prevent crashes. Riders should wear proper safety gear, and drivers should always be cautious around cyclists.
