Sad news from LA’s Miracle Mile district, where a bicyclist was killed in a collision Wednesday night.
Unfortunately, there’s almost no information about the crash.
According to the City News Service, the wreck occurred in the area of Olympic Blvd and Ridgeley Drive; another site places the time of the crash around 11 pm.
The victim died at the scene.
Raw news video from the scene shows what appears to be a mangled mountain bike resting next to a pair of shoes in the street, and identifies the victim as male.
The driver remained at the scene; news footage shows a sedan with a broken windshield. However, that site places the crash a few blocks further east on the 5500 block of Olympic.
No other details about the victim or the crash are available at this time.
This is the 41st bicycling fatality in Southern California this year, and the 20th in Los Angeles County. It’s also the seventh in the City of Los Angeles.
My deepest sympathy and prayers for the victim and his loved ones.
