SAN DIEGO, CA – A cyclist was hospitalized Friday morning with life-threatening head injuries suffered in a collision with an SUV in the Bay Terraces neighborhood of San Diego.

Officers responded about 10:50 p.m. Thursday to the 7300 block of Paradise Valley Road and discovered the victim, according to Officer Robert Heims of the San Diego Police Department. He was transported to a hospital with life-threatening injuries, he said.
