If she was going down the one very steep hill that leads from old Fort down into town and didn’t use her brakes or had a mechanical or health malfunction, she could easily have been traveling 30-40 mph when she hit the horse driven carriage.

She must have been in pretty good shape to actually get on a bike at 77. I bet she had a really good life! Rest in peace! Praying for the family. 🙏
