Woman Dies In Carlsbad Bike Accident

by The Editors on September 22, 2010

Susan Eiko Akana, 50, of Poway was riding her bike with her boyfriend on South Rancho Sante Fe Road on Sunday, September 19, 2010 when, according to a story in the North County Times, she hit a median and then:

. . . swerved into the fast lane on Rancho Santa Fe Road and fell. A northbound Nissan Sentra couldn’t stop in time to avoid hitting her, the medical examiner’s office said. . . The cyclist was trapped beneath the car when police and firefighters arrived, Mendes said. She died at the scene.

Our thoughts are with Akana’s family and friends.
