COHASSET, CA (July 28, 2018) – A man lost his life Saturday morning after his bicycle was struck by a vehicle near Sigler Lane.
As per reports, the collision took place shortly before 10:30 AM on Saturday, July 28. 75-year-old Dr William Patrick Doherty was heading north on Cohasset Road when he attempted to avoid a crumbled portion of the roadway. He swerved into the traffic lane and collided with a northbound Ford F-150.
