Prokop, a divorced mother of two girls, didn't own a car but rode her bike everywhere to take care of her year-old gardening business. Her landscape clients included the Hyde Park Marketplace, Kerbey Lane Cafe and her neighbors. Prokop was riding her bicycle east on 44th Street when she was struck by a Ford pickup traveling north on Avenue G, police said. The truck hit her in the middle of the intersection, which is a four-way stop, investigators said. Detectives were trying Monday to determine who failed to yield the right of way.
Funeral arrangements are pending.
