A bicyclist broke her arm Monday night when she crashed head-on with a vehicle in Serra Mesa, San Diego Police said.
Investigators suspect the woman on the bike may have been drinking before the collision at 7:55 p.m. at Chalar Street and Murray Ridge Road.
According to police, the woman in her 40s was not wearing a helmet when she rode against traffic and veered out of the bike lane, likely causing the crash.
Witness Conner Shean said it sounded like a car hitting a dumpster.
"It was screeching, screeching, screeching and then heard a massive impact and saw a person land on their back," Shean said.
Police said the woman was left with a compound fracture to her arm and other, nonlife-threatening injuries.
The driver of the vehicle stayed at the scene to answer police questions. She will not face any charges, police said.
