This incident on the southbound approach to the Samoa Bridges just in from the Eureka Reporter:

"Richard Tennant, 84, of Manila, was driving south on state Route 255 south of the intersection with New Navy Base Road when the collision occurred, according to a California Highway Patrol report.

CHP reported that as Tennant was passing Manos, his Ford Ranger pickup’s right-side mirror struck cyclist Tina Marie Manos, 52, of Eureka, causing her to be ejected from the bike and onto the roadway.

Manos, who suffered head injuries and abrasions, was transported to St. Joseph Hospital for treatment.
No arrests were made as a result of the incident."

Let's hope Tina recovers well.

I hope to learn more from Jennifer Savage today, as she was apparently there at the aftermath. As I recall, there is a short stretch with virtually no shoulder on the approach to the bridge.
