A 14-year-old girl has been taken to Royal North Shore Hospital after her e-bike and an SUV collided on a shared crossing at Cromer during the morning school commute.
Teen Injured On Cromer School Route
A teenage girl riding an e-bike has been injured after a collision with a car on a shared crossing at Campbell Avenue, Cromer.
Emergency services were called just after 8am on Monday, 4 May, after reports of a collision involving an e-bike rider and a vehicle near Evergreen Drive. The 14-year-old girl was understood to have been travelling towards Northern Beaches Secondary College — Cromer Campus when the crash occurred.
The crossing is a raised shared path crossing with pedestrian markings and a green-painted dual cycle lane. The girl appears to have entered the crossing from the Dee Why side of Campbell Avenue before the e-bike and a black MG SUV collided.
The e-bike became lodged beneath the front of the SUV, but the girl was not trapped under the vehicle. She was thrown onto the road and suffered bleeding to the back of her head and abrasions to her legs.
Emergency Crews Attend Campbell Avenue, Cromer
Police, NSW Ambulance and Fire and Rescue NSW attended the scene, with Dee Why crews among those responding.
Paramedics treated the girl at the scene before taking her to Royal North Shore Hospital in a stable condition shortly before 8.45am. She remained conscious and was able to sit and speak with ambulance crews before being transported.
Firefighters used a jack to raise the SUV and remove the e-bike from beneath the front of the vehicle. They also checked the e-bike’s lithium-ion battery and found it was intact, with no reported ignition risk.
The 26-year-old female driver of the SUV was not injured. Police spoke with her at the scene, and a roadside breath test returned a negative result.
