I want this SOB to turn him/herself in and explain what happened. Texting? Drunk? Stoned? This is insanity!

Yes Fernando it is crazy. Crazy to think it is safe to ride a bike on a street with a speed limit over 30mph. Even more crazy to think people will stop texting, eating, talking, or speeding. Welcome to reality it won't ever happen. Hell they can't even keep people from drinking and driving let alone the stuff people on cdm today want.

This person was an amazing doctor who's calling was to save lives! To think that she was struck and left to die makes me sick to my stomach! I hope the person responsibe gets caught ASAP and is punished! She would have stoppped to render aid if anyone was in this situation so to think this happened to her is devastating! She did not deserve to be left that way !

Tomorrow is a meeting at the main library in Newport Beach, I believe it is at 4 or 4:30. All concerned Newport Beach residents should be there showing their concern for the safety of cyclists in their city and that this should not be ignored any longer.

It's so ridiculous for anybody driving a big truck and to hit a cyclist on a broad daylight, more so by not stopping to attend the injured person. How would you want that on your conscience? I ride my bike along this neighborhood 3-4x a week and it's kinda scary. I happened to witness the ambulance took off with the patient when I was riding my bike from the other side of the street going down towards PCH that morning. I thought that it was just a minor accident, but only to find out that it was a hit & run fatality after reading the BCI Alert news. I was also shocked to hear about Sarah's accident that occurred the previous day. Our deepest condolences to both Cathy and Sarah's family, from your brothers and sisters of BCI.

This 4 lane superhighway offers the potential for speeds that are not tolerable for the general cycling public and its design should never have been approved. It needs more curves to lower speeds. Big money doesn't care about cyclists, and it's unlikely things will change much.

mp, Newport Coast Drive is actually a 6-lane road, three in each direction plus the bike lane. Worse, the lane closest to the bike lane seems to be the narrowest of them.
