A Huntington Beach man is back home and nursing injuries after he was

hit by a car while riding his bicycle, said Huntington Beach Police.

Robert Michael Boozan, 70, was riding his bicycle north on Graham

Street just north of Diamond Drive at 10:33 a.m. Saturday when, for

unknown reasons, he turned left and rode in front of traffic and was

struck by a Ford S10 pickup truck, said Lt. Chuck Thomas.

Boozan suffered a fractured collarbone and fractured pelvis and was

taken to UCI Medical Center where he was treated and released, Thomas

said.

The driver of the truck, 23-year-old Huntington Beach resident Amir

Rezaee, suffered minor hand injuries that didn’t require medical

attention, police said.

“No charges were filed and I don’t anticipate any charges being

filed,” Thomas said. “There’s no indication that [Rezaee] was under the

influence of anything, nor was Boozan.” The speed limit in the area of

the collision is 35 mph.

There was no indication the truck was speeding, police said.

The front end of Rezaee’s truck was damaged as was the left side of

Boozan’s bicycle.
