California Bicyclist Killed in Accident Identified
September 21, 2007
The San Diego Medical Examiner's Office has identified the man who was killed in a bicycle accident earlier this week. He has been identified as Manuel Hernandez, a 30-year-old migrant worker from Guatemala.
Last Wednesday, SignOn San Diego reported the crash that occurred at the intersection of Black Mountain and Kearny Villa Roads. Hernandez was riding his bicycle at about 10:15 pm when a 1991 Mercedes crashed into him. Paramedics performed CPR on Hernandez, but he succumbed to his injuries a few hours later at a hospital. The driver of the Mercedes, a 52-year-old man insisted he didn't see Hernandez. It's believed that Hernandez was living with a few roommates in Mira Mesa, California.
Close to 800 bicyclists die in bicycle related accidents in the US every year. Of these over 100 deaths occur in California alone. Besides these, there are thousands of injuries that are caused as a result of bicycle accidents. The problem is even more acute in California because of the numbers of people who take advantage of the sunny weather to hit the streets on their cycles. In campus cities like Berkeley where cycling is a routine form of transportation, the number of bicycle accidents is inversely proportional to the local populations. For obvious reasons, bicyclists bear the brunt of any injuries that are sustained after an accident. Just a few weeks back, a young boy from Huntington Beach, California was killed when his bicycle was crashed into by a car.
