Irvine, CA (August 26, 2024) A 61-year-old man who was struck by an SUV while riding his bike in Irvine earlier this month died from his injuries on Thursday, August 23. The crash occurred on August 1 at about 1:20 p.m. at the 405 Freeway and MacArthur Boulevard.
When paramedics arrived, they found Scott Andrew Morris suffering from a moderate head injury, according to the Irvine Police Department.
Morris had been riding his bike north on MacArthur in the right lane to the freeway on-ramp. Then, he made a left turn into a Chevrolet Suburban as it was traveling in the lane beside him.
“Morris’ left handlebar struck the Suburban’s front passenger door and mirror, causing him to be ejected from his bicycle. Morris was not wearing
a helmet at the time of the collision,” police stated in reports.
The SUV driver remained at the scene and cooperated with the investigation. Morris was rushed to the hospital, but tragically succumbed to his injuries a few weeks later.
