  1. Our sympathy to the family and friends of Linda Theresse Munoz of Salinas.

    Linda suffered fatal injuries after being struck on her bicycle by a truck, and then by two additional vehicles, while biking in Salinas on March 14.

    We have no details on this collision so canโ€™t comment about the circumstances except to say: #KSBWโ€™s report ksbw.com/article/bicyclist-str mentions she was biking โ€œin dark clothing.โ€ High visibility apparel is not required by law, and while we do suggest it (bikemonterey.org/tips-for-tour), being visible canโ€™t protect you from drivers who are texting, speeding, under the influence, etc.โ€”as we experienced and pointed out last week sfba.social/@bikemonterey/1162.

    We donโ€™t know if Lindaโ€™s bicycle had the equipment required by California law for biking in the dark (see #9 in our Calif bike law summary bikemonterey.org/wp-content/up).

  13. At yesterdayโ€™s Vision Zero meeting for Monterey County, the challenges of Salinas Road were among topics discussed. In fact, on Wednesday, a Watsonville resident traveling by bike was going north on the shoulder of Salinas Road when he attempted to make a left turn and was hit by a GMC Yukon. The Yukonโ€™s driver fled the scene. Good Samaritans assisted the injured bike commuter. Thank you to law enforcement; the driver has been arrested and faces felony #HitAndRun charges.
