Bicyclist Who Crashed Into Pedestrian Convicted of Felony Manslaughter
A San Francisco man has become the first bicyclist in the United States ever to be convicted of felony vehicular manslaughter for plowing through an intersection and colliding with a man who later died of his injuries.
The case is interesting for the precedent it sets regarding the legal responsibilities of bicyclists, who may face serious criminal charges for failing to ride their bikes responsibly.
