Early Wednesday morning, a 17-year-old girl from Tehachapi was injured after being hit by a car while riding her bicycle on Highline Road.
According to the California Highway Patrol, Harley McDaniel was riding her bicycle on the north side of Highline just before 6:00 AM when she tried to cross the south side of the road, traveling directly into the path of a car being driven by Philip Waterstradt.
Following the bicycle accident, it was reported that McDaniel was recovering from her injuries at Kern Medical Center.
Police say that McDaniel was wearing dark clothing and riding a gray bicycle, which may have contributed to Waterstradt not being able to see her prior to the collision. McDaniel was not wearing a helmet either.
At this time, police say that alcohol is not a factor in the accident.
