A Dublin student biking to Wells Middle School Monday morning was involved in a collision with a vehicle, according to Dublin Police Services.
The 14-year-old male was wearing a helmet and experienced “very minor injuries”, DPS spokesperson Miguel Campos told the Weekly on Tuesday.
After receiving treatment on-scene, he was released to his parent, Campos added.
Police determined the incident was non-criminal in nature and found that neither alcohol nor other drugs were factors in the collision.
“We are grateful for the quick response of those who provided assistance, and we are relieved that this situation was not more serious,” Wells Principal Monica MacDonald wrote in a message Tuesday to families. “This event serves as an important reminder of the need for all of us — students, parents, and staff — to be vigilant and mindful of safety when traveling to and from campus.”
The collision took place at about 8:05 a.m. Sept. 22 at Amador Valley Boulevard and Emerald Avenue, according to police.
The student was back on campus the following day, according to MacDonald’s message to the campus community.
MacDonald also urged parents to review safety procedures with their students regarding school commutes such as using designated crosswalks as well as wearing helmets and bright or reflective clothing while on bicycles.
The tips also extended to guardians for driving students to and from school. Safety procedures for motorists include reducing speeds in school zones and refraining from double parking or letting children cross between cars in pick-up and drop-off zones.
