The accident location is uphill past Spy Glass Hill Rd and near the turnout overlook. Based on my observation of Britel’s bike on the curb at the scene just after the accident and the vehicle photos available at OC Register, it appears he was riding in the bike lane and was struck by the right side of Miller’s vehicle somewhere between the center of the grill and headlight. I think she was driving in the bike lane.

This is so tragic. And to add to the tragedy, a young lady has just destroyed her life. Prayers go out to Amine's family, as well as, the young girl and her family.

I will miss Amine and the countless hours that he gave to help members of our extended family train for triathalons. Amine was inspirational and my family will never forget his kindness and motivational outlook on life.

Amine was truly a remarkable and passionate person. I had such respect for his athleticism. What a shock to read this in the paper. What a tragedy! And to read that the 22 yr old girl who hit him had numerous citations... AND drinking! This is inexcusable. She needs to pay the price for taking a life. My heart goes out to his family. God Bless them and may they find some peace through all of this... If anyone knows where to send condolences, please contact me @lolaramos@yahoo.com

Amine was a classmate of mine at Harvard Business School and I wil always remember as a very decent and nice guy. He definitely was passionate but in a good way and he channeled his intensity in many good pursuits. He will be missed by many. Life is really stupid sometimes.

What a tragic, heartbreaking loss, and all the more so because it was completely unnecessary. Drivers MUST become more cautious and respectful of cyclists and pedestrians. I hope you have found a better place, Amine. Blessings to you and your family.

Amine was a classmate and dear friend at Harvard Business School. Our class, HBS class of 2000, was just informed of his loss and we mourn him deeply. The 120 of us who joined him when he organized a trip to his country, Morrocco, will never forget the generosity and open spirit of him and his family. I know I and my friends will never forget, the many evenings we spent just talking over dinner and laughing. We cannot believe that this vital, energetic light who had so much to contribute to the world was so callously snuffed out by a lit twinkie with the judgment of a slug. She killed/murdered our classmate, our friend. She deserves nothing less than full condemnation. There is no excuse.
