The man who pleaded guilty to striking and killing a cyclist in 2022 on the 11th Street Bridge filed a motion for return of belongings for the car he was driving when he fatally struck Gloria San Miguel.

Mark Phipps, through his attorneys, filed the motion on Nov. 12, asking that his car and the tools inside the car be returned to his sister while he serves out his sentence at the Southeast State Correctional Complex in Wheelwright, Kentucky.

Phipps was sentenced to 10 years in September 2023.

San Miguel was riding her bike on the 11th Street Bridge between Newport and Covington when Phipps struck and killed her on Aug. 20, 2022. Phipps, 61, pled guilty in July of that year to second-degree manslaughter, tampering with physical evidence, leaving the scene of an accident, and driving on a suspended license.
