A man was knocked down and killed in Punta Gorda last night around 6:15. 63 year old US national Steven Zipzer was heading to PG when he hit 49 year old Marsden Ramirez between mile 2 and 3 on the San Antonio Road. Today police told us that Ramirez was on the side of the road fixing his bicycle when Zipzer rammed into him. Ramirez was flung on the other side of the road and died on the spot - the case is simply that Zipzer did not see Ramirez on the road side. Zipzer was served with a notice of intended prosecution. In terms of the deceased: Ramirez, police are still investigating if Marsden Ramirez is his real name because he had been brought in for using someone else's name in a previous case.
