SAN DIEGO, CA — A 23-year-old man suffered a critical brain injury Monday afternoon after crashing a newly-purchased all-terrain vehicle in the Kearny-Mesa area of San Diego, according to San Diego Union-Tribune.

The incident occurred in the parking lot of Fun Bike Center on Kearny Villa Road near Ruffin Road at about 3:20 p.m.

The young man was riding the ATV across the lot when the vehicle hit a curb, causing him to lose control of the vehicle. The ATV spun and rolled, ejecting the rider onto a concrete curb.

The victim was transported to a nearby hospital with a life-threatening brain bleed. It was unclear whether he was wearing a helmet at the time of the accident.
