Family of man killed after being hit by a vehicle holds vigil

IMPERIAL COUNTY, Calif. (KYMA) - The family of a man killed while riding his bicycle in Imperial held a vigil this past weekend.

Ruben Camargo's friends and family gathered at Mando's Stereo in El Centro Saturday, just miles from where he was struck and killed on his bike.

The evening began with Camargo's niece paying tribute by singing one of his favorite low-rider oldies.

"I picked this song because that's who my uncle was. He was an angel. He'd do anything for anybody, no matter how he could do it," Nevaeh Garza, Camargo's niece.

His family is also petitioning the City of Imperial to add a dedicated bike lane on Highway 86.
