There were two traffic fatalities in the area of Balls Ferry Road Wednesday morning. The second one was shortly before 10AM on Deschutes Road just north of Balls Ferry, when a semi truck driven by 42-year-old Grevel Nevarre-Terecino of Gerber struck a 19-year-old Redding woman on a bicycle. She had been crossing Deschutes from the west side to the east when the southbound truck hit her. When emergency personnel arrived she was unresponsive and a trauma alert was called. A short time later the coroner was called to the scene.
