COBB, Calif. – A Cobb boy was flown out of county on Tuesday morning after he crashed his dirt bike into a vehicle.

The California Highway Patrol said Philip Mount, 12, was injured in a collision that occurred just before 7 a.m. Tuesday.

Mount was riding a 2000 Honda XR80R dirt bike west on Hoberg Drive, east of Hoberg Drive South at an unknown speed, the CHP said.

The CHP said the boy turned to his left onto Hoberg Drive South where 32-year-old Jesse Merritt of Santa Rosa was in a 2003 Toyota Tacoma that was stopped at the intersection.

As he was making the turn, Mount’s dirt bike struck the Toyota’s bumper, throwing him over the handlebars, the CHP said.

Mount, who was wearing a helmet, suffered major injuries and was flown to UC Davis Medical Center for treatment, according to the report.

The CHP said Merritt was not injured.

No drugs or alcohol are considered factors in the wreck, the CHP said.

The crash was the second in less than 24 hours involving a juvenile who sustained serious injuries when colliding with a vehicle.

On Monday afternoon a Lucerne boy rode his bicycle into the path of a car and was struck, and also was flown to UC Davis Medical Center, as Lake County News has reported.
