BRAWLEY --- A 10-year-old Brawley girl remains in serious condition after suffering head trauma this week when an unlicensed motorist ran over her at K Street and Imperial Avenue, a Brawley Police commander said today.
The girl whose name was not released because of her age was first taken to Pioneers Memorial Hospital following the incident Tuesday before she was taken to Loma Linda University Medical Center, Brawley Police Cmdr. Brett Houser said.
The driver of the Chevrolet Tahoe involved in the afternoon incident, Gabriel Roman, is a 30-year-old Brawley man who, Houser said, has been cited in the past for driving without a license. Roman was cited again Tuesday as an investigation into the collision is under way, Houser said.
The girl was heading south on Imperial Avenue on her bicycle while the 3:30 p.m. collision occurred, Houser said. Roman was traveling west on K Street, the police commander said.
