SF attorney killed while bicycling

The Alameda County Coroner's Bureau has identified a man killed while riding his bicycle on a remote road outside of Livermore on Tuesday as 48-year-old Paul David Clark, an attorney from San Francisco.

Clark was struck head-on by a Ford F-150 pickup truck while bicycling on Mines Road near Livermore around 7:25 p.m., the coroner reported. He was thrown 15 to 30 feet off the roadway into a ravine and died at the scene.

Excessive speed and alcohol do not appear to have caused the crash, which occurred south of Tesla Road, according to the coroner's office.

The California Highway Patrol continues to investigate the collision and has not yet determined if charges will be filed against the truck driver.

It is a real shame, people just don't look out for cyclist enough.
The driver reported it right away or waited till he was no longer drunk?....hmmm
Hope that it will raise more awareness for us cyclists so that his death will not be all in vain. Serve a purpose since he was thrown to his death. Getting late... was he not seen because it was getting to be dusk, 7:25 , visibility is down at that time in that part of world, no? Or is that when it was reported. Guess the coroner would be able to tell the time.
Really sad, hope that he did not have kids to have to suffer without daddy.
Just sad.
