AG: Goshen Man Injured While Riding Bicycle
From News Now on Monday, 12 August 2019: --------------------------------------------------------------------- A Goshen man is in critical condition after he was struck by a vehicle while riding his bicycle. It happened late Thursday afternoon in the 11000 block of Pierce Road in Madison Township. Investigators say a Jeep driven by a 30-year-old woman was traveling westbound on Pierce Road and collided with the back of the bicycle. The 49-year-old bicyclist was wearing a helmet at the time, but the helmet came off after he was struck. The victim was airlifted to the hospital with a serious head injury. The driver is cooperating with investigators. Alcohol and speed are not believed to be factors. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Note that the man was not wearing a helmet -- he was wearing a helmet-shaped head decoration. Actual helmets come with chin straps that can be adjusted to keep the helmet in place during acceleration. The investigation must be complete by now, but there is never any follow-up to crash stories unless one of the participants is the target of wide-spread hate. The only one I recall off-hand is the incident that inspired the almost-readable poster I saw today. Since I'd seen a picture of the lawn sign in the news, and because I was on a bicycle, I knew that it was urging drivers zooming past at four times my speed and distance to refrain from passing school busses when their lights are flashing and their stop signs are out. And then the follow-up wasn't on "how did it happen?" but on "is she in jail yet?". -- Joy Beeson joy beeson at comcast dot net http://wlweather.net/PAGEJOY/ |
