While you were sleeping, a cyclist was killed on Aurora Ave.

While you were sleeping another cyclists was killed riding in Seattle. The driver was reportedly “impaired” and struck the cyclist at high speed on the Queen Anne south-bound end of the Aurora Bridge on the off-ramp to Dexter Ave.

The cyclist could have been either riding in the lane (which is 100% legal) or on the sidewalk going up the Aurora bridge, but either way he was struck on the off-ramp in the middle of the lane at fatal speeds around 10:20pm last night according to the Seattle P-I and the Seattle Times.

I had to go by the scene on my bicycle commute home along the same route during the investigation and deduced these facts, as demonstrated by the diagram below. This is all that I know. Detectives are not at liberty to disclose information for a matter of days, so take it for what it is: an eyewitness acct of an on-the-scene fatality investigation.

Ride Alert. Drive Safe.
