Pleasanton Police arrested 18-year-old Cody Matthew Hall of Pleasanton Friday in connection with the June 9 bicycle collision that killed Diana Hersevoort, 58, of Dublin.

According to statement issued by police, Hall surrendered to detectives at the Pleasanton Police Department this evening. Police say Hall has been charged with one count of 192 (C) (1) of the California Penal Code (Vehicular Manslaughter-Felony) and one count of 23103 (A) of the California Vehicle Code (Reckless Driving-Felony) and that Hall was booked into the Santa Rita Jail in Dublin.
