An 81-year-old man named Arnold Kinman Low from San Francisco has been charged with involuntary manslaughter and operating a motor vehicle under the influence of alcohol. He allegedly killed world champion cyclist Ethan Boyes in April while driving drunk. The incident occurred in the Presidio area of San Francisco when Low’s vehicle collided with Boyes’ bicycle on Arguello Boulevard. The U.S. Park Police responded to the collision and Boyes succumbed to his injuries shortly after. Boyes, who was a reigning Masters Track world champion at the time, was tragically killed in the crash.
According to federal prosecutors, Low was intoxicated at the time of the accident. Because the crash happened in the Presidio, which is under federal jurisdiction, Low will face federal court proceedings. His initial appearance is scheduled for December 6, 2023, in San Francisco.
If convicted, Low could face a maximum sentence of eight years in prison and a fine of $250,000. Restitution may also be required. The U.S. Attorney’s Office has emphasized the seriousness of the charges.
