Driver Not Charged in Connection with Fatal San Diego Pedicab Accident
The recent San Diego fatality that had caught hold of the community was the accident where a woman died when she fell from the wagon of a pedicab as it was riding up a street that was expressly blocked to bicycles. Witnesses observed the driver swerving his own vehicle when the 60-year-old schoolteacher from the midwest fell and injured her head, later dying in the hospital from complications of the accident.
The newest development in the story is that prosecutors declined to file charges against the driver arrested on suspicion of manslaughter for the Fourth of July accident. It is not exactly clear why they were not seeking to press charges in the fatal accident. Sukru Safa Cinar, 23, was the Turkey native taken into custody. He was released from jail Thursday night pending further investigation, according to Paul Levikow, the District Attorney spokesman.
