Apparently her bike had a malfunction and she was walking it back into town.

Damn. RIP
You gotta be smart when walking in the road, though.

Dr. Oliver was one cool chick! She was my major professor and helped me graduate. I took 2 of her classes and had many beers at The Chimes with her. LSU lost a wonderful teacher and person.

“She was a keystone member of our department,” said LSU English professor Jesse Gellrich, “a vital and visible person in medieval studies in the United States and Europe who was just graced with the most distinguished scholarly academic award given by the LSU general academic community — distinguished research master.”
Known by many as “Lisi,” Oliver was an expert in comparative law, medieval languages and linguistics, and opera libretti, according to LSU’s website. A Smith College and Harvard University graduate, Oliver joined LSU’s faculty in 1996.
“This was an international scholar who knew more about English law than probably anyone else in the world,” said LSU English Department chairwoman Elsie Michie. More On This Topic
Oliver — who could read or speak more than 16 languages — was “an international treasure” and “the keeper of some of the most valuable learning that the field possesses,” Michie said.
