No speed limit signs were seen and drivers did seem to be driving fast, NBC 7’s Jeanette Quezada reports.
A driver hit and killed a bicyclist in the Black Mountain Ranch area of San Diego on Friday evening, according to San Diego police.
A 50-year-old woman was driving a 2015 Volkswagen EOS westbound on Camino Del Sur near Casey Glen Lane around 6:47 p.m. For unknown reasons, the woman drove into the bike lane, crashing into a man riding a bicycle.
The man was pronounced dead at the scene, police said. Alcohol was determined to not be a factor in the crash.
"The driver of the vehicle excited and attempted to render aid to the bicyclist, but unfortunately, the bicyclist died," said San Diego Police Department Lt. Mike Kellington.
