Yet another SoCal bike rider has been murdered by a heartless coward in a motor vehicle.
According to the Daily Bulletin, the victim, who has not been publicly identified, was struck by a driver around 11 pm Monday near Mission Boulevard and Cucamonga Avenue in Ontario.
He was pronounced dead at the scene at 11:14 pm.
There’s no further information about the victim, how the collision occurred, or the person who killed him. The only description of the suspect vehicle is that it should have front-end damage.
There’s also no word on whether someone saw or heard the victim get hit, or if the he was found in the roadway following the crash.
Anyone with information is urged to call the Ontario Police Department at 909/986-6711, or call Officer Eliseo Guerrero directly at 909/408-1739.
This is at least the 39th bicycling fatality in Southern California this year, and the third that I’m aware of in San Bernardino County.
At least 15 of those deaths have been the result of hit-and-runs.
My deepest sympathy and prayers for the victim and all his loved ones.
