Berkeley, CA (November 26, 2021) – On Wednesday, a female cyclist suffered critical injuries i n a Sacramento Street crash.

The accident took place  after 1:10 p.m. north of Ashby Avenue near Sacramento Market.

Apparently, the victim was pinned underneath a silver Lexus 470 sedan. Reports said she was not breathing and had no pulse when the authorities arrived at the crash scene.

Right away, the Berkeley Fire Department rushed the woman to Highland Hospital in an effort to save her life.

Moreover, the involved driver remained at the scene and cooperated with the authorities’ investigation.

Aim high in steering, i.e. don’t make your steering adjustments based on what is directly in front of you, but rather what is down the road.

If the road is winding to the right, for example, look as far into the turn as possible. This will improve your safety and make your turns smoother.
