How they died

Vehic/Purs

Samuel Edwards was riding in a bike lane at about 11:30 p.m. when police said he cut in front of a sergeant's car and was hit. Police said the sergeant could not avoid hitting Edwards. A neighbor said she saw Edwards on the ground with his bike, an old 10-speed with a baby seat on the back. The police car's front bumper and hood were dented, she said. "It looked like maybe he had hit a tree."
