The victim, described by authorities as a 54-year-old Sacramento woman, was riding on southbound Power Inn Road near Creeping Willow Lane shortly before 5:30 p.m. when she was struck by a Chevrolet driven by a 29-year-old Citrus Heights man, the CHP’s South Sacramento office said in a news release.
