Lanie Kruszewski Memorial Ride Set For Sunday

From WRIC:

RICHMOND, VA—A group bicycle ride in memory of Lanie Kruszewski is set for this Sunday.

Monday marks the one year anniversary of the night the 24-year-old was struck and killed while riding her bicycle along River Road.

Elias Webb, the Richmond man convicted of felony hit-and-run in connection with the July 29th wreck, was sentenced in July to three years behind bars. In February, it took a jury of four men and 10 women just less than three hours to reach the verdict.

A group bike ride to remember Kruszewski is set for the evening of Sunday, August 4.

The 14-mile ride will go to the corner of River Road and Bridgeway Road, where a memorial for Kruszweski has been set up.

Riders are asked to meet Sunday at 7 p.m. at the Oregon Hill Outlook where Laurel Street meets the river.
