A Hart Middle School student riding their bicycle was injured this morning after colliding with a car at the intersection of Willow Road and West Las Positas Boulevard, school officials said.
Information about the extent of the student’s injuries was not available at the time of publication. The Pleasanton Police Department did not responded to multiple requests for information.
In a statement to the community, Hart Principal Gwendolyn DeWees said the schools thoughts were with the student and their family “during this difficult time.”
“We recognize that news of an incident involving a member of our school community can be distressing,” DeWees added. “Our school counseling team and support staff are available to provide support to students and staff who may need it.”
According to the the police department’s activity page, a call came in about 8:30 a.m. reporting a traffic collision with injuries in front of the entrance to the middle school. A report was taken and no one was arrested, according to the incident report. Police cleared the scene after an hour, according to the incident report.
DeWees said emergency personnel responded to the scene but declined to share further details, citing the desire to respect the student and family’s privacy.
One commenter who replied to a Pleasanton Rants and Raves Facebook post said they heard on a fire scanner that a “14-year-old male was struck and possibly sustained a broken leg.” The Pleasanton Weekly reached out to the Livermore Pleasanton Fire Department, but they were unable to confirm any information regarding the incident.
DeWees said the safety of students and staff remains the school’s highest priority.
“We are committed to working with our families, local authorities and community partners to promote safe travel to and from school,” she said. “We appreciate everyone’s continued care and vigilance, particularly during busy arrival and dismissal times.”
This incident comes two days after the Pleasanton Police Department announced it was awarded a $46,140 grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety to “support ongoing enforcement and education programs aimed at reducing serious injuries and deaths on local roads.”
