Wrongful Deaths in Stockton

Based on the reports, officials have not disclosed if the victim had been riding in a designated bike path or lane along Don and Hammer. As part of the investigation, forensic teams will examine the bicycle, as well as the larger vehicle, for mechanical issues or system failure and will examine photos of the crash site and the area. Police may also consider if drugs, alcohol, negligence, distraction, or recklessness contributed to the events leading up to the accident in any way.
