USPS box truck fatally hits 15-year-old girl on bike in Cape Coral 

Bike5

CAPE CORAL, FL – A 15-year-old girl riding her bicycle was struck by a United States Postal Service box truck, leading to her death Wednesday. 

The Cape Coral Police Department told WINK News that this collision happened along the Santa Barbara Boulevard and Mid Cape Terrace intersection. 

The girl, a Mariner High School Student, was cycling to her house coming from her summer job at SunSplash when the crash occurred. 

Officers are continuing to investigate the circumstances behind this collision and have not confirmed if the truck driver will face charges. 

Our team of news writers will post updates should new developments come to light. 

Reader’s Note: While the girl’s name was mentioned by Cape Coral Police and the initial source, our news team has adopted a no-name policy with respect to minors involved in motor vehicle collisions, pedestrian accidents, and other personal injury-related incidents. As such, our group of news writers has declined to mention the teenager’s name in this article.

Losing a family member under any circumstance is heartbreaking as it is. However, when your loved one passes away as a result of another person’s negligent actions, it can make the grieving process much more difficult. If you lost your family member to a collision that was not their fault, as wrongful death lawyers, we extend our heartfelt condolences. We would like to be there for you and your family during this dark time by offering our legal support with respect to your wrongful death claim/lawsuit. The money you receive as a result of legal action may not be able to erase what occurred, but it could restore some financial peace and be used as a means of paying for a funeral or burial service. A free consultation will give you a chance to review what your potential legal plan of action could look like.
