Roadside Memorial to Hung K. Do



It's not uncommon in the USA for memorials to be placed where cyclists have been killed. Often an old bike, painted white, is placed near the site of the tragedy.

I spotted this one some months ago on Warner Avenue in Fountain Valley, California.

I read up about it in back issues of the local newspaper. Hung K. Do was killed on May 15, 2011 at this spot. It happened at about 3 am. As you can see in the second photo, there is no sidewalk over the rise of the road. My guess is the driver who struck Hung came over that rise and failed to see the cyclist until too late.

I took these images with my FED 3 and Legacy Pro 400 film.
