» A mother and her 2yo hit by a car, suspected DUI

According to officers, the collision happened just before 12 p.m. at Sunset Cliffs Boulevard and West Point Loma Boulevard.

Police said a mother was bicycling with her toddler, who was riding in a car seat strapped to the back of her bike, when a suspected DUI driver in a sedan clipped their bicycle from behind.

The sedan kept driving, and the bicycle was dragged a short distance.

Police said a Good Samaritan helped to pull the bike from the vehicle. The toddler suffered moderate injuries but was conscious when officials arrived at the scene.

doesn’t say if she was riding on the road or sidewalk. sounds like on the road? no bike infrastructure on either of those streets. i wouldn’t ride a bike with a 2yo in the back in that area. sidewalk would definitely be safer except for all those bumps at corners. brave, though.

hope this news piece gets publicized enough that OB residents start demanding safer streets and increased DUI enforcement. (but it happened in the daytime?!)
