Sometimes the stories don’t add up.
The San Bernardino Sun reported this morning that a 37-year old man had been killed in a hit-and-run while riding his bike in San Bernardino.
According to the paper, he was riding on southbound Arrowhead Ave at 13th Street when he was struck from behind at 11:04 pm.
However, a press release from the San Bernardino County coroner said he was pushing a shopping cart, instead.
The victim, who has not been publicly identified, was taken to St. Bernardine Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead at 11:47 pm.
The driver fled scene, but was arrested sometime later. No word on his or her ID, or if drugs or alcohol was involved.
The discrepancy was explained by KABC-7, which said the victim was towing the shopping cart behind his bike. However, the report does not appear to be online at this time.
This is the 30th bicycling fatality in Southern California this year, and the sixth in San Bernardino County.
My deepest sympathy and prayers for the victim and his loved ones.
We offer up our prayers for the family and friends of the victim.
I was wondering if the victim had a face book acouont. I have taken it upon myself to be the new facebook person the reports deaths. That way if the victim has an account, people will be able to visit his memorialized acount.
I give prayers to the victims family and close people that he was in contact with at this time. Amen.
