[More sad news. :(]
A 16-year-old bicyclist hit by a vehicle Aug. 5 died Monday of injuries from the accident, Montgomery County police said.
Codi N. Alexander of Gaithersburg was cycling on a sidewalk parallel to Great Seneca Highway. Authorities said she was attempting to cross the on-ramp to Sam Eig Highway when she was struck shortly before 3 p.m. by a Honda CRV driven by Rodolfo Ayala Sibala, 66, of Germantown.
Alexander was not wearing a bike helmet and was not required to under Maryland law, which mandates them for children under the age of 16, said police spokeswoman Lucille Baur.
