When she got up on March 21, 2012, Cynthia Pacheco of New Bedford thought she was just going out on a bike ride with her husband. Little did she know that she was going to die later that afternoon. Ms. Pacheco, 58, was riding her bicycle along Samuel Barrett Boulevard in New Bedford, when she was struck by a Federal Express freight truck.
