SAN ANTONIO – The Bexar County Medical Examiner has identified a woman who was fatally struck by a vehicle while riding her bicycle earlier this week.
Cynthia Jane Persson, 39, died from blunt force injuries Thursday when a driver who was taking his two children to school struck her on her bike at the intersection of Wurzbach Parkway and North Weidner Road.
Persson’s boyfriend pulled a machete on the driver, and another driver who witnessed the incident pulled out a handgun to diffuse the situation, according to San Antonio police.
The driver did have a concealed handgun permit, according to SAPD.
No one else was injured in the incident and Persson was pronounced dead at the scene.
Police said the driver who struck Persson had a green light at the time of the accident. Police said she disregarded a red light as she was crossing Wurzbach Parkway.
No charges are expected to be filed against the driver or the boyfriend.
