An accident off Highway 1 in Southern California has left two men with serious injuries on September 13, according to the San Jose Mercury News.  According to police reports, a 44-year-old man riding on a Suzuki Motorcycle collided with a 26-year old cyclist.

While investigators are still sorting out the facts surrounding the accident, it is a reminder of the consequences for both cyclists and motorists when they do not share the road.  Always be alert and aware of your surrounding while cycling.

Flyers’ Manager Injured In Bicycle Accident

Posted on September 22, 2011 by Dudek Law Firm

Paul Holmgren, the general manager of the Philadelphia Flyers of the NHL, was injured in a bicycle accident on September 5.  Holmgren was riding his bicycle in Camden, New Jersey when he lost control and fell off, according to reports.  No other cyclist, motorists or pedestrians were involved, and Holmgren was wearing a bicycle helmet. According to some sources, Holmgren suffered more serious injuries—broken ribs and a broken shoulder—but his complete medical status was not available.  Officials are still looking into the accident. Even experienced cyclists must be proactive to avoid accidents.  Holmgren is a very tough individual. He played in the NHL for years.  Fortunately, he was wearing a helmet, which can substantially reduce serious head injuries. Bonnici Law Group APC—San Diego bicycle accident attorney.
