Crossing J Street Can Be Fatal

If you are in Albany:

Albany Native Killed in Sacramento

Arlene Sasse, longtime Albany native, was struck and killed on her bicycle in Sacramento early Friday. Family and friends are today mourning the death of Arlene Sasse, a longtime Albany resident who would have graduated from CSU Sacramento next month.

Sasse died early Friday morning in Sacramento when she was struck on her bicycle in front of the university.

She had attended Albany schools from preschool through high school. “She was a wonderful girl,” said longtime family friend David Pirkle. “We’re all just devastated.”

Sasse, 22, was crossing J Street at the Carlson Drive intersection about 1:45 a.m., when she was struck by a vehicle traveling westbound on J Street. Police said the driver did not see Sasse, whose bicycle did not have a light or reflectors.
