Valledupar cyclists will hold a sit-in to reject the death of Lady Beltrán

This Tuesday, starting at 5:00 a.m., cyclists from Valledupar will hold a sit-in on the Hurtado Bridge at the exit of the city towards the northern districts of the municipality in rejection of the death of the teacher Lady Beltrán Bermeo who died while riding her bicycle on the road that leads to Río Seco.

The purpose of the sit-in is to reject the irresponsibility of some car drivers, such as the case of the person who ran over Lady, abandoned the car and fled.

“I want to express my dissatisfaction, irresponsible drivers are killing cyclists. A sit-in will be held on the Hurtado Bridge in protest of Lady’s death so that these things do not continue to happen,” said Roberto Mejía, president of the Cesar Cycling League.

Regarding this case, the Municipal Government Secretariat held a road safety council with officials from the Traffic Police, the Ombudsman’s Office and the Ombudsman’s Office to implement strategies to protect cyclists.

Lady Beltrán Bermeo was originally from Bogotá, a social sciences teacher, and since 2022 she had been transferred to the Villa Corelca Educational Institution in Valledupar. She had a 15-year-old son. Her body was transferred to the country’s capital amid rejection by her relatives who are calling for justice.
