Minnesota bike rider dies days after Huntington Beach crash

A bicyclist from Minnesota died four days after he was struck by a car and seriously injured while riding in Huntington Beach earlier this month, police said Tuesday, Jan. 28.

Adam Nickelson, 30, of St. Paul, Minnesota, died at UCI Medical Center Thursday, Jan. 23, Orange County Supervising Deputy Coroner Erica Arellano said. He was hit by a 2016 Honda Civic along Beach Boulevard, near Indianapolis Avenue, at about 11:55 p.m. Sunday, Jan. 19, Huntington Beach Police Department officials said in a news release.

He was lying unresponsive in the street and suffering from extensive injuries when first responders arrived on the night of the collision, police said.

The 64-year-old Huntington Beach resident behind the wheel of the car involved in the crash waited for police to arrive and cooperated with their investigation, HBPD officials said. The department’s Multidisciplinary Accident Investigation Team was looking into the matter.

Authorities asked any potential witnesses to the collision to call Accident Investigator D. Kim at 714-536-5666.
