PALO ALTO, CA (June 18, 2018) – A girl was hospitalized after a bicycle collision on El Camino Real, late Monday morning. Her identity was not immediately disclosed to the public.

When the police arrived at the scene, they found the girl conscious and breathing. She was still able to talk to the authorities and was transported to a nearby hospital, where it was confirmed that the girl suffered severe injuries. Her current condition has not yet been confirmed.
