It’s been a bad 24 hours in San Bernardino County.
In addition to Friday’s fatality, in which a Loma Linda bike rider was killed by a suspect fleeing police, another bicyclist was killed in Newberry Springs Thursday night.
According to the San Bernardino County Sun, a 60-year old man was killed in a collision around 8:15 pm while riding his bicycle on Valley Center Road, east of Minneola Road.
He was pronounced dead after being taken to Barstow Community Hospital.
No other information is available at this time; the Sun reports it’s not even known if the driver remained at the scene.
A street view shows a two lane country road with gravel shoulders.
This is the 53rd bicycling fatality in Southern California this year, and the seventh in San Bernardino County.
Correction: While the headline was correct, the story above initially gave the location as Newberry Park, rather than Newberry Springs. Thanks to Bryan J Blumberg for the correction.
My deepest sympathy and prayers for the victim and his loved ones.
Sorry to nitpick, but the title says Newberry Springs, which is in San Bernardino County, but the story you wrote says Newberry Park, which is in Ventura County.
That’s not nitpicking, that’s a pretty big screw-up. Thanks for the correction.
We offer up our prayers for the family and friends of the victim. The road in the street view seems to be less than ideal for bicycle travel.
