Folsom residents rally to make a deadly intersection safer after middle school student dies in bike vs car accident

An 11-year-old Folsom boy, Calvin Suh, was hit and killed by a car while riding his bike on Monday. His death has sparked a neighborhood rally requesting the city of Folsom to investigate how they can make the dangerous intersection safer for pedestrians and bicycle riders.

The intersection currently has not stop signs, traffic lights or crosswalk in an area where many residents say drivers regularly drive much faster then the posted 45mph speed limit. Neighborhood residents reported that the design of the intersection is most likely a major factor in the tragic lose of the young boy. One resident said that the intersection is so dangerous that she often drives her daughter just to cross the street where the car accident occurred.

The Folsom police department is currently investigating the auto/bike accident and have ruled out DUI as a contributing factor. The driver of the car, which has not been cited, has been cooperating fully with the accident investigation.

Immediately following the accident neighbors took action by collecting signatures requesting a traffic safety improvement and submitting the proposal to Folsom city officials. Folsom city officials have ordered a landscaping survey to see how the median landscaping can be changed to improve visibility at the deadly intersection. They have also requested a comprehensive traffic survey to investigate the current traffic patterns. City officials will review these reports and request any recommended intersection improvements to be approved by the Folsom city council and the Traffic Safety Council.

From the very start of my case the Tiemann Law Firm was wonderful. Perter came all the way to my home to sit down and talk to me about my options. He made me and my partner feel very comfortable and promised us he would take the very best care of my case. Peter kept me informed every step of the way and was always on top of things. everything was done in a timely manor and I always felt like I was the only case he was working on because he was so fast.

I just saw my lawyer Jelena Tiemann on a t.v ad, which reminded me how much she helped when I was in a desperate situation. I just love her! That is why I feel a need to tell everyone. I had a situation that happened & didn’t know what to do, our where to go. I didn’t even know if she could help me or if any lawyer could. All I wanted was it to go away & was afraid most lawyers wanted to drag it out & possibly go to court. For one she was very professional but was very personable (maybe b.c she’s a lady). She didn’t make me feel embarrassed or self-conscious that I did something wrong or was the cause of the situation. She immediately said we should try our best before going to court. Let me handle some paperwork, if at the last we do go to court we have documents. She gave me all the details, pros and cons but reassured me she deals with these cases all the time. She came through and made it as painless as possible. I now have my life back.
