Resources if your loved one was killed in a bike crash https://la-bike.org/resources/killed_crash/

On September 18, around 4:40am, a 71 year old unnamed cyclist was struck and killed by a driver in Ladera Heights. California Highway Patrol officials said a 2019 Toyota Camry driven by 27-year-old Michael Tesfai was westbound on Centinela Avenue in the number two lane when the bicyclist south on Alvern Street made a right onto westbound Centinela and was struck by the car.

Our thoughts are with their family and friends during this difficult time.
