A 52 year old cyclist died recently after colliding with a car.
National Parks Traveler: Visitors are coming into the valley via the two-lane Southside Drive, a one-way road, while others are leaving via the two-lane Northside Drive, also a one-way road. Delivery trucks and buses also are negotiating these roads, while pedestrians and cyclists are exploring the valley.
Against this backdrop, a 52-year-old visitor from South Korea died recently when he was struck by a vehicle on Southside Drive.
Park investigators say Sung Mo Ku was riding a mountain bike eastbound on Southside Drive on May 29 when the accident occurred. Accident investigators believe that Mr. Ku was attempting to cross from the south side of the road to a pullout on the north side of the road when he collided with an oncoming vehicle.
