Description
A San Diego mother wants to know who destroyed a bike memorial dedicated to her husband who was killed by a wrong way driver back in 2021.
"I'm devastated. I can't believe somebody would set fire to a memorial," said Laura Kennan tearfully. "We worked so hard to make this spot something human and special. It finally was a place visit on tough days. My son waves "Hi" when we pass by and says "That's where daddy is.'"
The couple's young son, Evan, was just a year old when his father died.
The memorial located near the 2100 block of Camino Del Rio South, in front of the First United Methodist Church, paid tribute to Keenan's husband, Matt Keenan. He was riding his bike there when he was hit and killed three years ago. It's also dedicated to all cyclists who've been killed.
Keenan found out about the burned memorial over the weekend after someone messaged her on Facebook. Tuesday was her first time seeing it in person.
