Richard Albrecht, 89, of Oakton was killed after the electric bicycle he was riding collided with a Kia Optima in Fair Oaks. Police responded Wednesday, Oct. 9, at 12:14 p.m., to the intersection of West Ox Road and Tilton Valley Drive after receiving a report of the accident.
Preliminarily, detectives from the Fair Oaks District Station determined that Albrecht was traveling west on Tilton Valley Drive and turned left onto southbound West Ox Road. Police say the driver of the Kia was traveling south on West Ox in the right lane when it was struck by the bicycle.
Albrecht was transported to a local hospital where he was pronounced dead. The Kia’s driver, who was uninjured, remained on scene. Detectives from the Crash Reconstruction Unit are continuing to investigate. But preliminarily, they do not believe that speed or alcohol were factors in the crash.
