A man was injured Tuesday after he rode his e-bike into the side of a car on Broad Street near South Street in San Luis Obispo.

Shortly before 4 p.m., a woman headed northbound on Broad Street attempted to turn left onto Branch Street when a man on an e-bike headed southbound on Branch Street hit the side of her car, a witness said. First responders transported the man to a local hospital for treatment of undisclosed injuries.

Officers closed southbound Broad Street from Chorro to Branch Street and northbound Broad Street from Santa Barbara Avenue to Chorro Street. Travelers using Highway 227 to access south county are recommended to use Highway 101 to circumvent the area.

Accidents like this are why California passed laws to limit the size of e-bike motors, thus their speed. I can’t tell precisely, but that wrecked bike looks like a compact, fast one.

No chance the e-bike was being operated unsafely….?

Oh those e-bikes! I hope the man learned a lesson or two and was fully insured.

Be realistic, who has insurance for a e-bike.

It says the car and bike were coming from opposite directions on Broad, and the car turned left onto a cross street in front of the bike, so he T-boned her. How is he to blame?
