A 32-year-old California doctor has died after she was fatally struck by a vehicle while riding an electric scooter.

Dr. Geohaira Sosa, a first-year psychiatry resident at UC Davis, died around 10:30 a.m. on August 29 after being struck by an oncoming vehicle in Sacramento.

The collision occurred in the 1200 block of Alhambra Boulevard, at the intersection with Folsom Boulevard.

According to a GoFundMe created by the UC Davis psychiatry department, Sosa started her training two months ago after moving from Queens, New York.

‘Geo was an absolutely beautiful person inside and out. Many of her fellow interns who had the privilege and joy of spending time with Geo over the past few months felt that she became one of our best friends.

“She radiated joy, kindness and authenticity. We hope to carry on her spirit in our communities,” the crowdfunding page read.
