Last night at approximately 8:12 PM officers responded to a vehicle vs. pedestrian crash on Harrison Road south of Sala Road. Initial investigation determined a 22 year old male was riding a bicycle on Harrison Road southbound. For unknown reasons the male lost control of the bicycle and fell into the roadway. A 54 year old male was driving a GMC pickup on Harrison Road southbound and collided with the 22 year old male. The 54 year old male remained at the scene and cooperated with officers. Life saving efforts were performed on the 22 year old male but he succumbed to his injuries and was pronounced deceased at the scene. The driver of the GMC pickup was determined not to be under the influence, it is unknown at this time if the 22 year old male was under the influence. Initial reports suggested that two other vehicles initially struck the bicycle rider however, later investigation dispelled these initial reports.

🚨 SOBRIETY / DRIVER LICENSE CHECKPOINT 🚨
This Friday, September 4, the California Highway Patrol Monterey Area will be conducting a Sobriety/Driver License Checkpoint on eastbound San Miguel Canyon Road, west of Moro Road.

Every day, too many people are injured or killed on our roadways by impaired drivers. Our goal is simple: to ensure the safe passage of every motorist.

The checkpoint will operate from 7:00 p.m. until 2:00 a.m. and is located on a roadway where there is a high frequency of impaired driving incidents.

If you’re going to drink, don’t drive. Designate a sober driver, use a rideshare service, or find another safe way home.

Drive sober. Drive safe. Get home safely. 🚔
