A bicycle painted white has been chained to an I-5 freeway overpass to memorialize Margaret Conway, a 21-year-old Disneyland employee who was struck and killed by an SUV while riding her bike home from work, according to a news report.
Conway was riding east on Ball Road on Oct. 13 when she was struck by a Ford SUV on the I-5 overpass. She died shortly after the accident at a local trauma center. Anaheim police are still investigating the accident.
The “ghost bike” memorial was installed anonymously by bicycle advocates, and features a sign that urges motorists to “Watch for Bikes!” Conway was a student at Northern Arizona University in Flagstaff, and was participating in a college program as a host in attractions at Disneyland.
