Police say Pimple and her husband did not see the truck coming because a large vehicle was parked in one of the westbound lanes, and the sun glare at that time of day can be harsh.
According to police, a man and woman were riding their bicycles southbound. They stopped at East Yale Avenue and waited for a walk signal. As the bicyclists started crossing the road, a Dodge pick-up driven by an adult female ran the red light westbound in the left lane. The pick-up struck the female bicyclist.
