JOSHUA TREE MUSICIAN KILLED IN CRASH SUNDAY NIGHT

A Joshua Tree musician was killed Sunday evening when the bicycle he was riding was hit by a car. According to the California Highway Patrol, Tim Kelly, 58, was riding his bike northbound on Sunburst Avenue near Jericho Lane about 8:15 p.m. A 2014 Chevrolet Sonic, driven by Derek Burnham, 26, of Yucca Valley, was also traveling northbound on Sunburst at about 50 miles per hour when the car clipped the back of the bike, which did not have any lights on it. Kelly, who was not wearing a bicycle helmet, was thrown from the bicycle and despite CPR attempts by Burnham, died at the scene. Tim Kelly was often seen at the Joshua Tree farmer’s market playing his violin. Derek Burnham was arrested for several outstanding warrants for driving without a license and for no vehicle registration. Burnham was booked into the Morongo Basin Jail and released Monday morning.
