Bulgarian Woman Killed in Mission Bay Park Bike Accident

A September 1 Mission Bay Park bicycle accident claimed the life of a 20-year-old woman, according to XETV San Diego 6. The accident occurred at 3:30 a.m. in the 2500 block of Ingraham Street on Vacation Island. The woman was riding her bicycle on Ingraham when the driver of a sedan struck her. Despite attempting to avoid hitting her, the driver of the sedan did not see the cyclist in time to avert a collision.

“A 20-year-old female cyclist was southbound in the middle of a traffic lane when the driver of a sedan swerved when he saw her, but not in time, and struck her,” San Diego Police Sgt. R. Rose told ABC 10 News. “The woman sustained major, life-threatening injuries and was admitted to a local hospital.”

The cyclist succumbed to her injuries later that day at about 2:05 p.m. The woman’s identity was determined post mortem by the Medical Examiner’s office. She was a Bulgarian tourist in San Diego visiting family.

The driver of the sedan was not reported to have sustained any injuries in the accident. This case was assigned to the San Diego Police Department’s Traffic Division. The investigation was still ongoing and no charges had been filed at the time of this report.
