It could be another week before the RCMP have determined whether or not to lay charges in the accident that claimed the life of a Richmond cyclist on Sea Island.

On July 30 Christy Mahy, 36, was on her bike during the late afternoon waiting at the intersection of Russ Baker Way and Gilbert Road when a Pontiac Aztek heading north on Russ Baker Way drove into her.

Mahy later died in hospital.

Richmond RCMP spokesperson Cpl. Stephanie Ashton said investigators with ICARS (Integrated Collision Analysis and Reconstruction Service) had yet to complete their work on the case.

Once that is done, the matter can move forward to Crown Counsel which will then consider if charges should be approved.

A motorcycle procession from Cloverdale to Langley was held last weekend as part of a celebration of life ceremony for Mahy who was a motorbike enthusiast.
