Pedicab driver not charged in death (...yet?)

Pedicab driver not charged in San Diego death

SAN DIEGO—Prosecutors in San Diego have decided not to file charges against a pedicab driver whose passenger died after she fell from his pedal-powered vehicle.

District attorney spokesman Paul Levikow said Thursday that 23-year-old Sukru Safa Cinar (SOO-kroo SAH-fah see-nahr) will be released from jail pending further investigation.

No other information was immediately available about the decision not to charge him.

Cinar was arrested Tuesday on suspicion of involuntary manslaughter after 60-year-old Sharon Miller slipped from his pedicab and struck her head on the ground.

Miller, who was visiting San Diego from Illinois to attend an education conference, was declared dead Sunday, a day after the accident.

Interesting, how could he have possible predicted that a 60 year old would fall from his cab. Maybe those cabs should come equipped with seat belts.

he will never get fined because for one he is a foriegner that came for three months and what happens is that the true local san diegans that pedicab are the ones that have to deal with the affects of the foreignersm they over charge they drive recklessly they don't respect

they do come with seatbelts but the foriegners never tell the passangers to put them on
