The world of competitive cycling has lost a champion.
Friends and fellow bicyclists of Ethan Boyes said they can't believe he was killed. On Friday night, they gathered at the crash site in Park Presidio for a vigil. Friends told KTVU that Boyes knew how to navigate the city, a place he's lived for decades. They said Boyes used to be a bike messenger. Police said on Tuesday around 4pm, Boyes was riding along Arguello Blvd. near Washington Blvd. when there was a crash between Boyes and the driver.
"He was struck by a driver who crossed over to oncoming traffic. If Ethan didn't have a chance to respond to that, nobody would have," said Grady.Riley Gaines 'ambushed and physically hit' after Saving Women's Sports speech at San Francisco StateThough, one of Boyes' friends told KTVU people at the crash scene suspected the driver was drunk. Friends said they will remember Boyes for his sense of humor and kindness.
"He's the person you'd want to be around. You'd want to hang out with him. Laugh with him," said friend Sydney Parcell. Friends have organized a celebration of life for him. It will be held at the Hellyer Veladrome in San Jose Wednesday evening. Amber Lee is a reporter with KTVU. Email Amber at [email protected] or text/leave message at 510-599-3922.
