Two women were killed while riding bikes in separate hit-and-run collisions in San Francisco yesterday, June 22, 2016. Details and discussion are in this Hoodline summary that collects statements from police, various news sources and a reddit conversation, but the gist of it:
Also, this morning, a woman in the East Bay town of Pleasanton, CA in Alameda County was killed while riding her bicycle across the intersection of Bernal and Stanley. This is a huge, multiple lane intersection. There’s no word on who ran the red light that controls this intersection, but the “the driver is cooperating with the investigation” while the cyclist is, of course, unable to give her statement.
Via Murph and others for this sad news.
