Default Cyclist on Cyclist violence leads to death of Portland man, 56

~
news article from The (Portland) Oregonian

A 56-year-old man who suffered severe head injuries in a bike-on-bike
collision Aug. 12 in Southeast Portland has died, authorities said.
Daniel Hunt was riding downhill on Southeast 11th Avenue when he collided
with another male cyclist who was pulling out of a parking lot near Stark
Street, police said.

Both men were transients, and neither was wearing a helmet, said Sgt. Brian
Schmautz, a Portland Police Bureau spokesman.

"The person who was at fault is the one who hit his head on the ground
hard," Schmautz said. So there was no investigation beyond an initial
report.

Although the crash happened on the same day as the Providence Bridge Pedal,
it was not related to the event.

Hunt succumbed Aug. 21 at Legacy Emanuel Hospital & Health Center. He died
of a skull fracture and internal bleeding, according to the Multnomah County
medical examiner's office.
