A California city that had removed its bike lanes was the scene of a fatal collision after a heavily pregnant, 36-year-old mother was struck and killed while cycling with her family, reportedly by an 87-year-old driver. The case has drawn attention to concerns about whether removing dedicated cycling infrastructure left riders more exposed to traffic, raising questions about local road safety decisions and their consequences for vulnerable road users.

Full details of the incident, including the exact location, the circumstances of the collision and any resulting investigation or charges, were not available in the source material provided. The case is likely to intensify scrutiny of the city's earlier decision to remove bike lanes, as well as debate over road safety measures for elderly drivers and cyclists sharing the same routes.
