San Antonio, TX (October 27, 2021) – A student from Northside Independent School District was struck by a vehicle while on his way to school Tuesday morning, October 26.

Reports from authorities show that a male middle school student was riding his bicycle in a crosswalk while on his way to school during the morning hours. As the student attempted to cross Shaenfield Road, he was struck by a vehicle near Jefferson Middle School.

The boy sustained injuries in the accident. He was transported to a local hospital for further care.

At this time, the incident remains under investigation.

Our thoughts are with the victim who was injured in this accident. We hope for his full recovery.

Bicycle Accidents in Texas

Every month, more than 17,100 victims are left with injuries following motor vehicle collisions across our state. Hundreds of people who are harmed in accidents are not traveling inside vehicles at all. Instead, bicyclists are regularly harmed by reckless and negligent drivers.

We see thousands of accidents take place every year in our state due to drivers who engage in negligent actions while operating their vehicles. Many people are hurt as a result of drivers who are speeding, failure to yield the right of way, and those who are distracted.

Although many motor vehicle collisions result in minor injuries for those involved, accidents involving bicyclists are more likely to end with severe injuries that require emergency medical care.

Dealing with painful injuries is not something that most people are prepared to do. Dealing with the financial consequences that come with treating injuries can be downright devastating.
