A Mesa auto accident involving a teen bicyclist sends a girl to a local hospital after she is struck by a car while riding her bike. The incident took place at approximately 7:30 AM on Monday morning, August 9, 2010, near Gilbert Road and Southern Avenue.

According to Mesa Police Sgt. Ed Wessing, the 13-year-old girl was struck by a car while going through a crosswalk on her bike. Rescue crews transported the girl to a nearby hospital where she was treated for head, arm and leg injuries. She has been listed in critical condition.
