A 5-year old Desert Hot Springs boy on a bicycle was trying to cross a street the other night when he got hit by a car. It’s not clear why his parents were not with him at that time, 10:30 p.m.
Police questioned and released the driver. They are certain he was not driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs. It was noted, however, that the young boy was not wearing a helmet.
The child was flown to a nearby hospital where he is listed in serious condition. The Desert Hot Springs Police are hoping this does not turn into a homicide.
If you are involved in an accident and your actions cause someone to be seriously injured, I suggest you contact an experienced Personal Injury attorney who will protect your legal rights.

On the night of July 11, 49-year old man was riding his motorcycle on Interstate 10 near Highland Springs Avenue when traffic came to an abrupt stop. The man’s motorcycle skidded and swerved as he tried to stop, but he lost control and crashed – throwing him onto the pavement. He was not wearing a helmet that covered his face.
Banning police are investigating this accident to determine what caused the man to lose control of his motorcycle. A number of factors are being investigated, which include a mechanical malfunction, something in the road and drugs or alcohol.
Statistics from 2008 indicate that 32 people died and about 600 people were injured from motorcycle accidents in Riverside County. My condolences go out to the family of the man for their tragic loss. I would advise them to contact an experienced Personal Injury attorney so he or she can investigate the accident and advise them of their legal rights and how to proceed.
