Richmond father dead after falling from bike
Police warn of dangers of riding without helmet
By Alan Campbell, Richmond News August 16, 2012 A 63-year-old Richmond man has died after falling off his bike and hit-ting his head while riding with his two children.

Richmond RCMP were called to a pedestrian overpass around 2 p.m. Tuesday, after receiving a report of an injured cyclist.

An off-duty nurse who lived in the area noticed the man had fallen and told her family to call 9-1-1 while she rushed over to help.

Paramedics and firefighters were already treating the man for his injuries by the time police arrived.

Police learned the cyclist lost control of his bicycle while riding on the over-pass and had struck his head on the ground. He was not wearing a helmet at the time.

The man was taken to the Royal Columbian Hospital while officers took his children home.

Once officers informed the children's mother of the incident, police escorted the family to the hospital. Sadly, the injured man had died before they arrived.

"This is a very sad and tragic event that very likely could have been prevented if a helmet had been worn," said RCMP spokeswoman Cpl. Sherrdean Turley.

"Our condolences are extended to the family and friends of the cyclist. "We would also like to thank the off-duty nurse for her assistance and obvious dedication to helping others."

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - A 101-year-old man crossing an intersection in the Los Angeles suburb of Burbank was struck by a car being driven by a 91-year-old woman and later died of his injuries, police said on Wednesday.

Otto Jensen, a popular local photographer, suffered serious injuries in the Tuesday evening accident and was pronounced dead at a hospital, Burbank police spokesman Darin Ryburn said.

"It's truly a tragedy, not only for Otto's family but for the city, to lose such a well-known figure here in Burbank. He lived and worked here for a long time," Ryburn said.

Jensen, a former boxer who first opened his photo studio in the 1950s, was grand marshal of Burbank's centennial parade in April of last year, when he and the city were both 100 years old.

He was crossing a street near that studio when he was struck by a sedan driven by 91-year-old Mary Beaumont, Ryburn said.

Beaumont was questioned at the scene and released, Ryburn said, but the incident remains under investigation.
