At 6:25 AM today, a bicyclist failing to stop for a red light was struck by a car at the intersection of Crow Canyon Road and Castro Valley Boulevard.

According to CHP - Castro Valley officer Dan Jacowitz, the 49 year old bicyclist traveling west on Castro Valley Boulevard near Crow Canyon went against traffic by not stopping for the red light.

The result was the driver of a 2004 Honda heading south on Crow Canyon struck the bicyclist who was transported to Eden hospital for moderate injuries.

The driver stopped and is cooperating with CHP. 

Jacowitz said this was a red light violation issue and no intoxication on either party is suspected. Jacowitz told CVN this is a good reminder for drivers and bicyclists alike to follow all traffic regulations.
