Cyclist Arrested for DUI After Bike-Car Crash

A Watsonville motorist collided with a drunken cyclist in Aptos Deer Park Shopping Center on Sunday evening, but the Watsonville man was not at fault for the crash, the California Highway Patrol reported.

Officers reported that the cyclist, 50-year-old Bryan Hollywood of Aptos, was to blame for the collision on Rio Del Mar 

Hollywood was wearing a helmet when he rode his Cannondale bike into the path of a 2000 Chrysler Concorde driven by a 59-year-old Watsonville man around 6:43 p.m., but Hollywood still suffered moderate injuries, according to the CHP.

Hollywood was flown to San Jose Medical Center for treatment. He also was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence on a bicycle. The CHP reported that he hasn't been booked into county jail—which normally would happen for this misdemeanor offense—because he remained hospitalized Sunday night.

The Watsonville motorist was not hurt, the CHP reported.
