OTHELLO – A fundraiser to pay for the funeral of the bicyclist who was killed in a hit-and-run crash near Othello on September 9 has been posted on GoFundMe. The fundraising page was started by the victim’s niece, who says her uncle, 59-year-old Artemio Cortez-Cortez of Othello was on his bicycle with his small dog, ‘Bolo,’ riding in a box on the back of the bike, when he was hit from behind on Taylor Road. A viewing for Artemio was held in Othello on Wednesday. The driver of the hit-and-run remains at large.
