Houston,TX : BikeHouston pressing for fixes at Museum District intersection where woman died in crash on April, Tuesday 24th 2018

A day after a female bicyclist was struck by a dump truck and killed in the Museum District, we are learning more about the woman and the calls for improvements at the intersection where she died.

Nonprofit advocacy group BikeHouston is speaking up and coming to the defense of the 30-year-old victim.

"We have a really strong community here in Houston, and when something like this happens, it really affects us all," said Jessica Wiggins, of BikeHouston.

According to authorities, Sudipta Roy had just left Rice University where her husband works.

Houston police said Roy was on the sidewalk and a dump truck on the road were both traveling in the same direction on Sunset. The truck driver had the green light and so did Roy.

Crash investigators say the truck turned right on Main just as Roy was entering the crosswalk when they collided.

In a preliminary report, investigators said the cyclist might be at fault.
