Aleksander Teimouri

CRANBERRY TOWNSHIP, Pa. —

A Pennsylvania man has died after he was struck by a drunken driver while riding his bicycle home from work.

Aleksander Teimouri, 22, died around 5 a.m. Saturday, according to Christina Teimouri, his mother. "I don't think he knew he had even been hit," Christina Teimouri said. "He flew through the air and landed on his head." According to a criminal complaint, when officers arrived on the scene, Teimouri was bleeding from the head and was unconscious. Doctors placed him on life support after he was airlifted to UPMC Presbyterian Hospital in Pittsburgh. His family said he couldn't wait to join the U.S. Air Force as a medic after graduating from the University of Pittsburgh. The family planned to donate Aleksander Teimouri's organs so his dream of saving lives could be fulfilled. "He was just the perfect brother and perfect friend and I know he brought joy to so many people's lives," said sister Aryelle. The family has set up a GoFundMe page to help establish a scholarship in Aleksander Teimouri's name. David Lohr, 51, was charged with aggravated assault with a vehicle while driving under the influence of alcohol or a controlled substance. According to the complaint, Lohr's blood alcohol content was .141 percent. Lohr was taken to the Butler County Jail.
