PLACENTIA, California (AP) -- Brent Liles, a former bassist for the 1980s punk rock group Social Distortion, was struck and killed by a truck while riding a bicycle, authorities said Wednesday. He was 43.
Liles was hit on January 18. No immediate charges were brought against the driver.
Liles, who was from Fullerton, joined Social Distortion in 1981 and played bass on the band's "Mommy's Little Monster" recording two years later.
Fed up with turmoil inside the group, he and drummer Derek O'Brien quit the band during a New Year's Eve performance in 1983.
Liles went on to play with other punk groups such as Agent Orange.

Brent was probably the only person to quit Social D that still had nice things to say about Mike and who was happy for all of Mike's success....I believe that those words alone speak volumes for the man we lost last week....RIP Brent....
