Sadly, he was declared dead at the scene. 

The involved driver was fully cooperative with authorities. 

An active investigation remains underway.

JT Legal Group sends our deepest condolences to the family and friends of Alfonso Chavez. 

Similar to motorcyclists, bicyclists are just as vulnerable on the roads. According to the NHTSA, 30% of bicycle accident injuries occur when hit by a vehicle. In addition, these injuries are often the result of the driver not paying attention. 

Because of the various dangers bicyclists face on the road, it is important that they possess all protection equipment.
