(L.A.) Areg Adalian, 15, Died in a Bike Accident

Case Number: 2024-19515

The coroner’s office has identified the teenager as Areg Adalian.

Manner of Death: Accident

Cause of Death: Blunt-Force Injuries

RIP AREG ADALIAN (November 25, 2009 – December 13, 2024)

Formal pronouncement of death was made on Friday at 6:32 p.m.

The decedent was riding his e-bike on the LA River Bicycle Path when he hit an obstruction that caused him to be flung off. He was not wearing a helmet. The obstruction was apparently a homeless individual who had positioned herself on the pathway.

Riding an electric bike, or any bike, at high speeds increases the risk of serious injury. Colliding with an obstacle while traveling at high velocity can lead to a loss of control, potentially causing the rider to be thrown from the bike and sustain severe injuries.
