27-Year-Old Man Arrested after Fatal DUI Collision near Oxnard Boulevard
OXNARD, CA (February 18, 2022) – Sunday evening, a male bicyclist was fatally struck by a drunk driver on Wooley Road.
Police responded to the scene around 10:18. p.m., just east of Oxnard Boulevard.
Per reports, the driver of a 2018 Honda Civic over sped while traveling east on Wooley Road. The car then drifted onto the south shoulder of the road after passing through the intersection.
There, the vehicle collided with the male pedestrian who was riding a blue BMX-style bicycle at the time. The unidentified bicyclist succumbed to his injuries while the driver of the vehicle did not sustain injuries.
