Brown student killed while riding bike in SD
Friday July 23rd, 2010
A Missouri woman killed in South Dakota
while on a cross-country charity bike ride was a student at Brown
University.
A university spokeswoman confirmed Thursday that 21-year-old
Paige Hicks of Chesterfield, Mo., was a student at the Ivy League
school.
The university says Hicks was en route from Providence to
Seattle as a trip leader for the Bike and Build Program, which
raises money for affordable housing. A memorial service is expected
at Brown.
The South Dakota Highway Patrol says Hicks was struck and killed
Tuesday near Vetal, S.D., by a tractor-trailer hauling a combine.
Troopers say Hicks had stopped on a hill on the shoulder of U.S.
Highway 18 and was checking messages on her cell phone.
