Colton, CA - Asandria Jacobo, 38, Killed in E-Bike Crash With SUV

Colton, CA (September 4, 2026) - Asandria Jacobo, 38, died after a Volvo SUV struck her while she rode an e-bike through the intersection of 12th Street and East F Street, the Colton Police Department said.

The crash happened Friday night, just blocks from Fleming Park. Jacobo was taken to a hospital, where she later died from her injuries.

The driver of the SUV stayed at the scene and is cooperating with investigators, police said. Beyond that, few details about how the collision unfolded have been made public.

Colton police have not said whether the driver will face any citation. The intersection sits in a residential stretch near the park where foot and bike traffic is common, and Jacobo's death adds to a wider debate over e-bike safety across Southern California, one that has already pushed nearby cities like Glendora and Murrieta to pass new ordinances aimed at reckless riding.

This is a developing story. Details may change as the investigation continues.

Wrongful Death Claims After a Fatal E-Bike Crash in California

Crashes between cars and cyclists usually turn on the same handful of questions: who had the right of way, whether a signal or stop sign controlled the intersection, and whether either driver was distracted, speeding, or failed to yield.

• Who may be liable: the driver of the SUV, and potentially the vehicle's registered owner if that is a different person
• What investigators typically examine: signal timing at 12th and F Streets, the e-bike's lighting and visibility at night, dash camera or doorbell footage from nearby homes, and CHP or police collision reconstruction once it is complete
• Comparative negligence: California follows a pure comparative fault rule, meaning a family can still recover damages even if the investigation raises questions about right-of-way, though any percentage of fault assigned to Jacobo would reduce the final recovery
• Filing deadline: California law generally gives a decedent's family two years from the date of death to file a wrongful death claim (CCP 377.60)

Based on the September 4, 2026 date of death, that statutory deadline falls on September 4, 2028. Waiting to gather evidence rarely helps a case like this one, since witness memories fade and surveillance footage from nearby businesses is often overwritten within days or weeks.
