This is getting really old.<\/p>\n

For the 11th time in the past 30 days \u2014 okay, 28 \u2014 someone has been killed riding a bicycle on the mean streets of Southern California.<\/p>\n

And once again, the victim was murdered by a hit-and-run driver.<\/p>\n

According to the Long Beach Police Department<\/a>, a woman riding a bicycle was mowed down by a motorist who ran a stop sign in broad daylight, then just kept running.<\/p>\n

The crash occurred at 4:48 pm Saturday \u2014 about 45 minutes before sunset \u2014 at Redondo Avenue and East 2nd Street<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Police report the victim was riding south on Redondo when the driver blew through the stop sign on westbound 2nd<\/a> at a high rate of speed, striking her, then continuing west on 2nd without stopping.<\/p>\n

When police arrived, they found the woman, who has not been publicly identified, being tended to by a bystander who had stopped to help. She was taken to a local hospital, where she died.<\/p>\n

Authorities are looking for the driver of a 2025 gray Hyundai Sonata; there\u2019s no description of the driver at this time.<\/p>\n

Long Beach Watchdog reports she was the fifth person killed as a result of traffic violence in the city<\/a> already this year, two of the dead were on bikes.<\/p>\n

According to the Long Beach Post<\/a>,<\/p>\n

Fatal traffic collisions have been a growing problem in Long Beach<\/a> despite the city promising it would try to eliminate them completely by 2026. Last year, there were 53 deadly crashes in the city. Most people killed were outside a car: walking, biking or riding an e-scooter.<\/p>\n

Long Beach\u2019s strategy is to force drivers to slow down, but the city has faced criticism<\/a> for moving too slowly on some tactics, such as installing automated speed cameras.<\/p>\n

Anyone with information is urged to call LBPD Collision Investigation Detail Detective Edwin Paredes at 562\/570-7110, or anonymously through LA Crime Stoppers at 1-800\/222-TIPS (8477).<\/p>\n

This the 11th bicycling fatality that I\u2019m aware of in Southern California this year, and the sixth in Los Angeles County; three of those SoCal deaths were caused by hit-and-run drivers.<\/p>\n

Update: The victim has been identified as 54-year old Long Beach resident Lori Ann Carreon<\/a>, a beloved local occupational therapist who worked with school-age children.<\/p>\n

She was just one block from her home when she was killed.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Forty-year old Christopher Bryant of Los Angeles turned himself in on Wednesday<\/a>, admitting that he was the driver who fled after killing Carreon. <\/p>\n

He was booked on $50,000 bond on suspicion of vehicular manslaughter with gross negligence, hit-and-run involving death and reckless driving.<\/p>\n

My deepest sympathy and prayers for Lori Ann Carreon and her loved ones.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Thanks to Chris and Danny for the heads-up.\u00a0<\/p>\n
