Carlsbad woman, 43, gets jail, house arrest for 2022 e-bike death By Laura Place

VISTA — A Carlsbad woman has been sentenced to 90 days in county jail and 90 days of home detention for fatally striking a mother who was riding an e-bike with her toddler daughter in 2022. The driver, 43-year-old Lindsay Turmelle, appeared on Jan. 4 in Vista Superior Court for sentencing. Turmelle was charged with mis- TURMELLE demeanor vehicular manslaughter after striking and killing 35-year-old Christine Embree at the intersection of Basswood Avenue and Valley Street in Carlsbad in August 2022. Embree was riding an e-bike with her 16-month-old daughter, Delilah, who was strapped to her and equipped with a helmet. The toddler survived without injury despite being thrown from her mother’s e-bike, but Embree died the following day at the hospital. A 9-month investigation by the CPD Traffic Division and California Highway Patrol’s Multidisciplinary Accident Investigation Team revealed that Turmelle had rolled through a stop sign at the intersection and was not looking at the road at the time of the collision, according
