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.
