Students and teachers gathered at Rio Linda High School to remember a teacher who died Tuesday morning after a bike accident that took place one day earlier in the parking lot of the school's athletic field.
Marion Adams was a multimedia teacher as well as a track and football coach, according to the Twin Rivers School District.
Relatives of 59-year-old Adams told KCRA 3 he was impaled after riding his bike into the arm of a yellow gate while leaving a track practice coached Monday.
"I've seen a lot of people crying and hugging each other, because it's a sad thing. He was a really good teacher," Rio Linda freshman Victoria Long said.
Earlier Tuesday, students and family members placed flowers near the yellow gate in front of the school's track and football field, where his accident happened. ?
"He was leaving the school and he turned the corner, and he went to look behind him to see if there was a car behind him, and when he turned back, he ran into the gate," said Adams' great-niece, Alyssa Davis, who wasn't present at the time of the crash. "It went straight through him. It punctured his artery."
It's a bizarre incident that Adams' sister, Janice McElroy, is still trying to grasp.
"I just can't figure the whole thing out," she told KCRA 3.
She said the very reason her brother was riding the bike was his health.
"He just found out he had diabetes, so he was trying to get healthy again -- so, he'd been riding his bike all over, and it was just freak accident," McElroy said.
