Cal Poly architectural engineering freshman Sean Ogawa Hillman is expected not to survive after a collision with a pick up truck Friday evening, according to a campus-wide email sent Monday morning.
Hillman, 20, was hit while riding his bike at the intersection of Grand Avenue and Fredericks Avenue around 4:30 p.m. on Friday.
Hillman remains on life support at the local trauma center.
Sunday night, the Office of the Dean of Students held a processing session for Hillman’s family and other students in his residence hall.
Hillman was sent to Sierra Vista Hospital’s ICU with serious injuries after the accident, according to a city news release. Drugs or alcohol were not suspected to be a factor in the accident.
