LOWER LAKE, Calif. – The Lower Lake man who died Tuesday morning after being hit by two separate vehicles while riding his bicycle along a foggy stretch of Highway 29 has been identified.

Lloyd Lee Knight, 59, was pronounced dead at the scene of the crashes, which occurred minutes apart north of Clayton Creek Road Tuesday morning, according to the California Highway Patrol.

The CHP said Knight was riding his bicycle northbound at about 7:44 a.m. when he was hit by a 1999 Chevrolet Suburban driven by 25-year-old Aimee Christine Hubbard of Clearlake.

Knight was knocked into the northbound lane and as he was getting up he was hit again, this time by a 2008 Prius driven by John Weeks, 62, of Hidden Valley Lake, the CHP said.

Hubbard is alleged to have left the scene but reported to the Clearlake Police Department later on Tuesday that she had been involved in the crash, according to the CHP.

The CHP arrested Hubbard on Tuesday on a charge of hit and run causing injury or death. Her bail was set at $50,000. Hubbard later posted the required percentage of bail and was released from the Lake County Jail.

The two crashes remain under investigation, the CHP said.
