Teen recovers in ICU after e-bike hit-and-run crash; driver arraigned

The man accused of hitting a teenager on an e-bike in San Marcos last Tuesday just answered to felony hit-and-run charges.

Alan Reyes, 23, surrendered earlier this week after the San Marcos Sheriff’s Office identified his truck.

On Thursday, the district attorney officially charged Reyes with hit-and-run and reckless driving.

Meanwhile, 16-year-old Jonathan Ramos is still healing up in the ICU at Palomar Hospital in Escondido, after being admitted in critical condition from the e-bike hit-and-run crash.

Ramos’ mother, Maria Martinez, said she has received hopefully news from doctors about her son as he continues to recover from injuries to his spleen, liver, kidney, left lung, three broken ribs, and more.

Martinez said her son Jonathan was on his way home from his friend’s house Tuesday night, when he was hit by a truck.

“He rides his bike every day,” Martinez said. “He was literally a minute away from where we live when he was hit.”

The San Diego County Sheriff’s Office said the crash happened around 9 p.m. last Tuesday, near the intersection of Mission Rd. and Knoll Rd. in San Marcos.
