Bicyclist killed by car on trail identified
A bicyclist killed by a speeding teenage motorist has been identified as Marvin Gene Miller, 58, of Seattle.
The King County Medical Examiner's Office said Miller died from head injuries suffered when he was struck by a car Friday.
Witnesses told police a red Ford Thunderbird sped north on state Route 99 and appeared to be racing another vehicle.
The driver tried to change lanes on a curve in the highway, lost control, jumped a curb and hit Miller head-on.
At the time, Miller and a friend were riding their bicycles south on the bicycle trail along Highland Park Way Southwest.
The friend with Miller told police they had no time to react to the speeding vehicle.
The driver of the car, a 17-year-old Seattle teen, admitted he was driving at about 80 mph when he lost control of his car. He denied racing anyone.
Bystanders tried to treat Miller, who was taken to Harborview Medical Center, where he died. The teen driver was taken into custody for investigation of vehicular homicide, then released into the custody of his mother. The case remains under investigation.
