Bicyclist killed in Lancaster named

by The AV Times Staff • August 28, 2018

LANCASTER – The coroner’s office Tuesday released the name of a 58- year-old bicyclist who was killed in a collision with a vehicle in Lancaster.

Rafael Angel Reyes of Lancaster was fatally injured about 6 a.m. Saturday, Aug. 25, on Avenue K, east of Standridge Avenue.

Reyes was riding his bicycle west on Avenue K, in the bicycle lane, when a passing motorist swerved to the right, crossed into the bicycle lane and rear-ended the bicyclist, according to Detective Matthew Davis of the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department’s Lancaster station.

Paramedics took Reyes to a hospital, where he died from his injuries, he said.

It was unclear if the motorist was cited or arrested.

Lancaster sheriff’s traffic investigators are asking anyone who saw the crash to call them at 661-948-8466.

    It was intentional first degree murder because he saw the bicycle up ahead and he then drove up behind him and crushed him alive without braking.

    That’s the way my friends kill people that snitch.

    This is why only CARS should be in lanes next to other cars, not BIKES. Bikes should have their own separate path, just like pedestrians.
