WINNER WINNER, Chicken Dinner!!! 25 year old Chicagoan Virginia Murray is the first! First person smashed to smithereens on a Divvy Rental Bike! Congratulations!

A 25-year-old woman riding a Divvy bike who was killed Friday morning in a crash involving a flat-bed truck in Chicago's Avondale neighborhood is believed to be the first person killed riding a bike-sharing bicycle in the United States.

The crash happened about 9 a.m. near Sacramento and Belmont avenues, said Officer Jose Estrada, a police spokesman, citing preliminary information. The truck and the woman were both going north on Sacramento, when they both turned east at Belmont and collided, Estrada said.

Initially, the woman was taken in critical condition to Advocate Illinois Masonic Medical Center but later was pronounced dead, Estrada said. She was identified as Virginia Murray of the 1200 block of North Marion Court, according to the Cook County medical examiner's office.

The woman's death is believed to be the first bike-share fatality in the United States since the first bike-share program started in Tulsa, Okla., in 2007, according to Paul DeMaio, principal of Washington, D.C.-based MetroBike, a bike-share consulting business.
