Earlier this week, a mother and her child were riding bikes in Imperial Beach when they were struck by a pickup truck. According to ABC San Diego News Channel 10, the incident happened on Tuesday evening near the intersection for 11th Street and Fern Avenue. Initial reports indicate that they were crossing Fern Avenue when a 78-year-old man driving a Chevrolet Silverado on 11th Street hit them. They were both ejected from their bicycles during the crash.

First responders rushed to the scene, and the mom had to be rushed to a local hospital for treatment of serious injuries. The child was also injured in the crash.
