LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – The Lake County Sheriff's Office has identified the man killed Saturday night while riding his bicycle in Middletown.
William Terrence Mullen, 62, died in the crash, according to Lt. Steve Brooks.
Mullen was riding his bicycle southbound on Highway 29 south of Central Park Road shortly after 10 p.m. Nov. 22 when, according to witnesses, he veered into the northbound lane and was hit by a 1992 Chevrolet Blazer driven by Alma Cross, 62, of Clearlake, according to the California Highway Patrol.
The CHP said that Mullen, who was thrown from his bike by the impact of the crash, landed in Highway 29's southbound lane and was hit by a 2006 Volvo driven by Aria Mulvihill, 21, of Hidden Valley Lake. He died at the scene.
The CHP initially identified Mullen as a St. Helena resident. However, Brooks said Mullen, who had a Calistoga address, was a transient. Brooks said it's not clear how long he had been living in Lake County.
An autopsy was conducted on Mullen on Wednesday morning, Brooks said.
Brooks said that as part of the forensics examination, blood alcohol and toxicology testing is being completed.
He said it could take as long as six to eight weeks for those results to come back.
