Motorized Bike Rider Hits Tree

Police and emergency personnel had been holding out hopes for one man involved in a motorized bicycle versus tree accident, but Gary Galvin succumbed to his injuries earlier this week.

Galvin, 57, was driving off Mission Avenue near Barnes Street around 4:20 on Jan. 17 when his bike hit a tree. Investigators are still attempting to determine how the accident occurred and what the cause was. His body was discovered and rushed to Scripps Memorial Hospital La Jolla. The medical team there treated him for blunt-force head injuries even though he had been wearing a helmet.

He passed away around 3:15 the following Saturday as a result of his head injuries. Galvin lived in San Diego and was single.

The CHP is asking any witnesses to the accident to come forward.
