LOS ANGELES, CA (May 10, 2019) – An incident that may have been a street race in Los Angeles could have played a role in a crash that killed a bicyclist and injured a motorist Thursday night. The May 9 incident occurred in downtown, on South Alameda Street in the 2100 block.

A Honda had been traveling north on Alameda and hit the bicyclist, according to Gary Walters who is a captain with the Central Traffic Division of the Los Angeles Police Department.
