Tragedy on Pacific Beach Calls for E-Bike Safety | San Diego News

A fourteen-year-old e-bike rider was fatally struck in Pacific Beach, sparking a community outpouring and calls for urgent safety reforms. Owen Harris, an eighth grader at Pacific Beach Middle School, died near Olney and Balboa around 9:20 PM. His school has offered counseling, and neighbors have left flowers at the scene. The San Diego County Bicycle Coalition is now pushing for mandatory safety classes for young riders and urging drivers to slow down, stay alert, and share the road—especially after dark. A free workshop is being held this weekend in Encinitas, with families encouraged to attend together. Owen’s family asks for privacy, but his legacy lives on through the love and support of those who knew him. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
