SAN DIEGO (CNS) - Authorities released the name of a 40-year-old man struck and killed by an out-of-control sport utility vehicle while bicycling on a pathway alongside State Route 56 in Rancho Penasquitos.
Nicholas Venuto of Poway and a companion were riding just west of Black Mountain Road when the eastbound Ford Escape careened over an embankment, crashed through a chain-fence and struck them shortly before 6:30 p.m. Tuesday, according to the county Medical Examiner's Office.
Venuto, a biotech executive and married father of two young children, died at the scene.
Medics took Venuto's friend, a 51-year-old Solana Beach resident, to Scripps Memorial Hospital La Jolla along with the motorist for treatment of serious and minor injuries, respectively.
The driver, a 27-year-old San Diego woman, did not immediately face charges over the accident, the California Highway Patrol reported. She told investigators she lost control of her vehicle while trying to change lanes.
Intoxication did not appear to be a factor in the crash, according to the Medical Examiner's Office.
