A man and his four-year-old son were injured when a bicycle they were riding on was struck by a car driven by an intoxicated man in San Antonio, police said yesterday.<\/p>\n
Theofin Secharraimul, 44, of Koblerville, received scrape marks on his left knee, left hand and right shoulder. He complained of pain on the left wrist.<\/p>\n
Secharraimul\u2019s son suffered a swollen forehead and laceration to the back of the head, police said.<\/p>\n
The driver of a car identified as Victor Padilla Mallari, 25, of Chalan Kanoa, was arrested for driving while under the influence of alcohol, reckless driving, speeding, and failure to yield to incoming vehicle.<\/p>\n
Secharraimul told police that on Nov. 24 at 5:09pm he was riding his bicycle with his son as his passenger at the intersection of Beach Road and Batto PI Street.<\/p>\n
Secharraimul said he did not see any vehicle so he drove to the highway, but he got struck by a car. His son was thrown to the ground.<\/p>\n
The driver of the car did not stop.<\/p>\n
A witness said he shouted at the driver who refused to stop then threw a lime at the vehicle.<\/p>\n
Some men who were in the area threw rocks at the car, the witness said.<\/p>\n
The driver stopped later in the area. Police responded and conducted their investigation.<\/p>\n
Mallari told police that he saw the bicycle coming from the secondary road so he slowed down. He said the bicycle suddenly entered the highway so he applied the brakes.<\/p>\n
The car slid and struck the bicycle. He said the road was wet and slippery at that time.<\/p>\n
Acting Department of Public Safety spokesman Eric David said Mallari was found to have .149 blood alcohol concentration, which is beyond the .08 legal limit.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
