#Boston Cyclists Union reported on Facebook today:
"We are devastated to learn of the passing of Samuel Alvarado, who was killed after being hit by a garbage truck driver while biking this morning in Allston. The fatal crash happened at the Cambridge and Hano St intersection.
"Our hearts are with Samuel's loved ones.
"This tragic crash highlights two key dangers that people who bike face: unsafe roadways and large trucks. Safety improvements for this area are long overdue - as are safety improvements for large vehicles that are driven on our streets.
Samuel should be alive today. #VisionZero
