"A 22-year-old bicyclist has died of head injuries from a crash in Coolidge Corner last week.
Police say Tracy Milillo, a recent Emmanuel College graduate from Holbrook, N.Y., died around 1:35 p.m. on Friday, Sept. 11. Millio never regained consciousness after the crash, police said.
Police are still investigating how the crash occurred. Though initial reports from witnesses indicated Milillo had been struck by a motorist, Capt. Michael Gropman said the vehicle may have never made contact with Milillo’s bike.
Police believe Milillo was near 30 Longwood Ave. when the crash occurred. She was not wearing a helmet, they said.
Gropman said police are examining the bicycle and vehicle for any mechanical defects."
