The cyclist, later identified as 49-year-old Sacramento resident Charles Carlson, was struck while riding across the road by an SUV behind Sequoia Hall. Sac State Police arrived at the scene and administered first aid, but Carlson would still die at the scene of the accident.

“It was a beautiful day,” a witness said. “And it’s like, ‘What could possibly go wrong today?’ And this happens.”
