Norwalk, California (February 21, 2020) – Authorities have identified Carla Becerra, 31, of Lakewood, as the bicyclist who died after being struck and killed by a hit-and-run driver in Norwalk earlier this month.
The fatal accident occurred on the San Gabriel River near Firestone Boulevard and Imperial Highway on Saturday, February 1.
According to authorities, Becerra was hit by a motorcycle while she was riding her bicycle on a trail along the San Gabriel River.
First responders arrived at the scene and found Becerra lying unconscious near her bike along the trail.
Becerra, who was wearing a helmet at the time of the accident, was taken to Coast Plaza Medical Center, where she was later pronounced dead.
The operator of the motorcycle, Brandon Lindsley, 29, of Norwalk, fled the scene after the accident.
Lindsley was arrested and charged with felony vehicular manslaughter with gross negligence and hit-and-run resulting in death or serious injury, along with a special allegation of personally inflicting grave bodily injury.
An investigation into the crash is underway.
“Far too many motorcycle collisions are caused by the carelessness or recklessness of other motorists. Sadly, when this occurs, motorcyclists are the ones who tend to suffer the vast majority of injuries”, according to Arin Khodaverdian, Managing Partner and CEO Alpine Law Group. Under California’s rule of comparative negligence, a victim may be able to collect compensation for injuries and other damages even if you were partly at fault for the accident.
Mr. Khodaverdian encourages victims and their family members to seek legal help as soon as possible in order to preserve their rights to the full extent of the law.
Mr. Khodaverdian has worked for many years as a wrongful death and personal injury attorney.
