On a warm night in the summer of 2008, nineteen year-old Jeremy Johnson was cycling home after an evening shift in the produce department at the Walmart Supercenter in Asheville, North Carolina. Johnson, a father of three and cyclist out of necessity, cut through a hilly residential neighborhood before darting through a traffic light at the crossing of a commercial boulevard. While there was little traffic at the late hour, according to a witness, Johnson pedaled through a red and was fatally struck by a car.
