Bicyclist dies; car driver is charged
REDMOND -- A Bellevue dentist who was injured while she was riding her bicycle has died, and a man being held on hit-and-run charges will likely be charged with vehicular homicide, police said.
Gail A. Alef, 54, of Redmond, who was struck by a car Sept. 18, died Sunday in Harborview Medical Center in Seattle, police said.
King County prosecutors said Monday they expect to decide within two weeks whether to file additional charges against Steven Edward Riedel, 58, who was taken to Western State Hospital for a mental evaluation at the request of his lawyer. Bail was set at $100,000.
