A cyclist killed in an accident in Yaletown earlier this week has been identified as a UBC economics student.
A memorial for Agustín Beltrán is growing at Pacific Boulevard and Hornby Street.
The 28-year old Vancouver School of Economics student died Wednesday when police say he was involved in a collision with a dump truck in the intersection’s crosswalk.
Friends and family of Beltrán held a vigil at the scene Thursday evening.
UBC staff said it is devastated over Beltrán’s death.
“We are shocked and devastated over Agustín’s death. This is a tremendous loss for the UBC community and our tight-knit Ph.D. program,” wrote UBC staff, in a release.
“We extend our deepest sympathies to Agustín’s family, friends, and peers. We share in their grief today, and in the days to come.”
