Cyclist Struck and killed (unconfimed) Today

Another reason to try and be safe out there and try to find safe roads for your ride. On our way back to Davis from Winters today, we came upon a horrific accident on Rd 31 (Covell Blvd) between Rd 98(Pedrick) and Rd 96 (Stevenson Bridge). A man was struck by a Mini Van. I Pulled my first aid kit out of my car but when I came up on the scene, the only thing that would help was the blanket I had in the car to cover his body to give him some decency. When the paramedics arrived, they attempted CPR for about a minute followed by an attempted with the defibrillator after which they recovered him with their blanket. This is about the time we left as we could no longer be of help. I did not see the accident so I cannot pass blame. I just wish everyone that reads this prays and wishes good will to the family of the downed cyclist. Pass this on to whatever list you wish as a warning to be safe if you deem it appropriate.
