UPDATE: Bicyclist Dies From Injuries Caused By Collision With Truck Owned By Newark-Based Company

Bay City News — A female bicyclist died after suffering life-threatening injuries Wednesday morning in a collision with a Berkeley Farms food distribution truck at Mission and Fremont streets in San Francisco, police said.

The woman was headed east on Mission Street and was hit by the westbound truck, which is owned by the Newark-based company ., as she turned left onto Fremont Street just after 8 a.m., police Lt. Troy Dangerfield said.

The woman has been identified as Nancy Ho, 25, of San Francisco.

Both the truck driver and the bicyclist had a green light, but the
bicyclist was making an illegal left turn, Dangerfield said.

Signs posted at that intersection only permit left turns for taxis
and San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency buses.

The woman, who was not wearing a helmet, suffered a serious head
injury along with injuries to her body and was taken to San Francisco General Hospital, he said.

Police have obtained footage of the accident from a video camera
at a nearby business, Dangerfield said.

The driver of the truck cooperated with investigators, and drugs and alcohol are not believed to be factors in the collision, he said.

Dangerfield said he estimates that the intersection would be
closed until at least 11 a.m.

He said the collision should serve as a warning for bicyclists,
motorists and pedestrians.

"Everyone has to share the roadway and be cautious," Dangerfield
said.
