One Woman Dead, Two Children Injured in E-Bike Accident on San Juan Creek Trail

electric bike accidentSAN JUAN CAPISTRANO, CA (September 25, 2021) — A woman in her thirties died after she crashed her electric bicycle, with two children aboard, while riding on San Juan Creek Trail. 

The Orange County Sheriff’s Department responded to reports of a bicycle accident around 8:30 p.m. and dispatched Orange County Fire Authority to the scene—north of Creekside Park. 

The woman was pronounced dead moments after emergency personnel arrived. Both children, under the age of five, were transported directly to the hospital.

County officials have not yet released the identity of the deceased woman, the speed the e-bike was moving before the crash, or the children’s current conditions since being admitted to the hospital. The fatal accident is currently under investigation by the OCSD. 

The Law Offices of Samer Habbas & Associates send our deepest condolences and heartfelt sympathies to the family and friends of the deceased.
