10:30 A.M., a 22-year-old male pedestrian was struck by a small sports utility
vehicle traveling approximately 35-40 miles per hour at the intersection of Big
Bear Boulevard and Highland Road in Big Bear Lake.
The

surrounding residential neighborhood. Deputies located the subject on the roof
of his girlfriend’s residence and were able to talk him down.
The
male subject received medical attention and was determined to have suffered a
fractured back and abrasions. He was transported by paramedics to Arrowhead
