A rally and vigil was held in honor of 4-year-old Maia Correia, who died after ending up in a coma following a crash near Lake Merritt. Now her family is pushing for more cyclist and pedestrian protections.

Later, as her family kept an eye on her, she took a turn for the worse and ultimately ended up in a coma after a blood clot formed in her brain.

"We could keep her body alive but she would never know us," McCracken said. "She would never be able to receive our love anymore. And that the Maia we knew and the Maia we loved wasn't coming back to us."They want to see the city of Oakland do more to protect cyclists and pedestrians. On the other side of the lake from where the accident happened, the bike lanes are protected and kept away from traffic. That's something that Maia's family, as well as many cycling advocates here in Oakland want to see all over the city.
