A 19-year-old Bulgarian has died after being hit by a car on a recognized bicycle lane in Florida, local media reported.
Galina Bumbalova was riding a bicycle on the south side of US 98 near Hidden Dunes Drive in south Walton County on Monday night. She died after the impact from the accident propelled her into a utility pole.
The young Bulgarian was in the United States on a student brigade.
Aaron Shipes, 22, of Santa Rosa Beach was driving eastbound on US 98 at 9:40 p.m. when his 2005 Nissan Extara for some unknown reason suddenly veered to the right and into the bicycle lane, colliding with the rear of Bumbalova's bicycle.
Shipes' vehicle reentered the roadway and left the scene.
Bumbalova was transported to Sacred Heart Hospital of the Emerald Coast near Destin, where she was declared deceased.
The Highway Patrol report stated that Shipes was not under the influence of alcohol.
Charges are pending further investigation.
