"On both sides of the overpass are located signs that read, 'cyclists
dismount to cross pedestrian overpass.'"

"As he descended the ramp near the end of the overpass, he fell from his
bicycle and struck his head on a metal hand railing," wrote B.C. Coroner
Lisa Graham. "He was not wearing a helmet at the time of this incident and
suffered a serious laceration to his head."

The nurse who came to Leong's side and comforted his 12-year-old daughter
and six-year-old son, told The Richmond Review last year she's often seen
injuries resulting from the steep ramp that leads to and from the overpass.

"It's horrible," she said "The thing that sticks in my mind is that they
were there watching him and no helmets...That could have saved his life."
