11-Year-Old Ejected From Electric Dirt Bike, Hospitalized in Fresno County, CHP Says

An 11-year-old boy was hospitalized after being struck by a car while riding an electric dirt bike just after 4:30 p.m. at the intersection of Lily and Lincoln near Washington Colony Elementary School in the Easton area of Fresno County, authorities said.

Authorities say the boy was traveling North on Lily when he slowed down at the intersection and was hit. The impact threw the child from the bike and left him unresponsive at the scene. “The boy was reportedly thrown from his bike and knocked unconscious.” Emergency responders transported him to a hospital; “his condition is unknown but authorities say he was awake when he was taken to the hospital.”

The driver remained at the scene and officers from the California Highway Patrol are handling the case. “The driver stayed on scene and the investigation remains ongoing.” CHP investigators have not released a report number, vehicle description, or information about any potential citations, and they have not identified the driver or disclosed whether factors such as speed, distraction, or impairment played a role.

The crash occurring near Washington Colony Elementary raises local safety concerns for parents and residents in Easton and surrounding Fresno County neighborhoods. It is not yet known whether the child was wearing a helmet or whether the electric dirt bike was modified or regulated for public-road use. School officials have not issued a statement and no information has been released about any students being involved or campus activity at the time of the collision.

For families who commute or ride near school zones, the incident highlights the intersection of recreational electric vehicles and neighborhood traffic. Electric dirt bikes can reach higher speeds than typical pedal bicycles, and collisions near schools amplify the potential for serious injury. Local drivers, riders, and parents often watch intersections such as Lily and Lincoln closely because of nearby neighborhood streets and school access points.

CHP investigators are expected to release additional details as they complete their work. Residents should look for updates from CHP and from Washington Colony Elementary School for information about the child’s condition and any safety advisories resulting from the crash. The investigation’s outcome will determine if charges or citations follow and whether local officials pursue changes to signage, enforcement, or school-area safety measures.
