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.

Lake Tahoe Area Gets New Bicycle Lanes

Posted on September 20, 2011 by Dudek Law Firm

California bicycle enthusiasts have reason to celebrate after confirming that a portion of Highway 89 will be repaved to improve bicycle safety.  The $8.5 million project will make multiple improvements to the road—it will be repaved, widened and bicycle lanes will be added.  The path will connect Tahoe City to Truckee and will begin construction in spring of 2012. “It will be a lot easier to maintain once we have a good base for it, so we’re excited,” said Caltrans Public Information Officer Deanna Shoopman. The highway was previously a nightmare for cyclists.  It was described as rough and dangerous, with shoulders too narrow for cyclists. “The street was terrible,” said Paco Lindsay, a local bicycle shop owner.  “It was kind of a joke.” The long-awaited improvement is a great way to invest in the community and make the roadways safer for everyone.

Portland Judge Hit By Car While Cycling

Posted on September 8, 2011 by Dudek Law Firm

According to KGW News Channel 8 in Portland, a Multnomah County judge was injured in a bicycle accident on the early morning of August 25.  She was reportedly struck by a car on her morning ride, according to police reports. The victim—Judge Kathleen Dailey—was riding on Terwilliger Boulevard when she was struck while making a left turn.  She was taken to a nearby hospital with non life-threatening injuries. The driver of the car was identified as 45-year-old Cynthia Farrell, and she was cited for failure to obey a traffic control device.  It was not determined whether or not Dailey was wearing a helmet. While this appears to be accidental, it likely was preventable.  Had the driver been alert and obeying bicycle safety laws this could have been avoided.
