A 60-year-old retired teacher from Illinois has died from a head injury after falling from a pedicab in downtown San Diego, the medical examiner reported today.


Sharon Miller was in San Diego to attend the National Education Assn. convention. She hit her head on the street after the pedicab in which she and another woman were riding tipped over late Saturday.


The pedicabs are a popular mode of transportation among tourists visiting downtown.

There are a ton of stories now on this tragedy! I am under the assumption that J1 visas are not allowed to operate a independent contractor. They have to be paid. How does this happen? One story said this "wild operato" had a license with the city. Clearly this is an enforcement issue. And, the owner of the rental fleet should be cited for illegal practices. Just my opinion.

Anybody knows the answers?:

1. Which company or was it and independent driver?
2. Pedicab or trailer?
3. Brand?
