Teen e-bike rider hospitalized in wrong-way Rancho Cucamonga crash

A teen riding an e-bike was hospitalized following a wrong-way crash in Rancho Cucamonga Tuesday.

Rancho Cucamonga police responded to the crash at the intersection of Wardman Bullock Road and San Angelo Drive at around 8:35 a.m

The electric bike rider, identified only as a 16-year-old juvenile, was traveling on the wrong side of the road when a male driver in a van suddenly spotted the oncoming cyclist.

The injured teen was transported to a local hospital where they remain in stable condition. 

The van driver was uninjured. No further details, including the teen’s identity, were released. The cause of the crash remains under investigation.
