Pregnant Google Executive Killed in LA Bike Accident After City Removes Bike Lanes
Regan Cole-Graham, a seven-month-pregnant Google executive, was killed in a bicycle accident on January 31st. The driver, an 87-year-old man, crashed into her at the intersection of Pershing Drive and Manchester Avenue in Los Angeles' Playa del Rey neighborhood.
Cole-Graham's husband, Matt Graham, who was riding alongside her, survived the crash along with their toddler son, but their baby girl died shortly after being born prematurely. The family's attorney blames the city for removing bike lanes from Pershing Drive, which they believe contributed to the accident.
The driver has not been charged with any crime. The family plans to file a wrongful death lawsuit against the city and has set up a GoFundMe that has raised over $302,000 so far.
