S.F. bicyclist charged in pedestrian's death
Henry K. Lee, Chronicle Staff Writer

A bicyclist who hit and killed a pedestrian when he ran a red light
along San Francisco's waterfront has been charged with misdemeanor
vehicular manslaughter, authorities said Tuesday.

Randolph Ang, 23, of San Francisco collided with 68-year-old Dionette
Cherney at Mission Street and the Embarcadero about 8:30 a.m. July 15,
prosecutors said.

Cherney, who was visiting from Washington, D.C., died of head injuries
at a hospital Aug. 11.

Cherney was crossing the Embarcadero in a crosswalk with the green
light at Mission when she was hit by Ang, who was traveling north,
police said.

Ang remained at the scene and was interviewed by police. There was no
evidence he was drunk or on drugs, prosecutors said.

Ang was charged with only a misdemeanor because investigators
determined that he had not acted with criminal intent or gross
negligence, said Stephanie Ong Stillman, a spokeswoman for District
Attorney George Gascón.

Ang faces a maximum sentence of a year in jail if convicted.
