Another sad reminder that this is not just idle conversation--these are extremely experienced cyclists including a former Randonneurs of USA president Mike Dayton who is reported to be in a coma:
Four Cyclists Hit in North Carolina While Riding Single File on a Rural Road *All four bicyclists were transported to Wake Medical Center in Raleigh with serious injuries.* *The four bicyclists all have non-life-threatening injuries and were identified as: Christopher Graham, age 34, Joel Arthur Lawrence, age 57, Lynn Lashley, 57 and Michael Dayton, age 60, according to officials.* *Donnie Marie Williams, the driver in the crash, did stop at the scene after the crash, officials said.* *Williams’ daughter came to the scene and told WNCN that her mother, who was driving, didn’t see the bicyclists until it was too late.* *Her mom was too distraught to speak. The daughter, Tiffany McElveen, says her mother was coming up over the hill and didn’t see the cyclists. A car was passing in the other direction and she panicked.* *“…she didn’t know what to do. She didn’t know whether to hit the other car or to try to miss the bicyclists,” McElveen said.* *McElveen said that her mother was “hysterical” when she called her to the scene.* *“I really couldn’t hardly understand her. She just kept saying ‘Tiffany I hit somebody, I hit somebody.’ She said ‘come down here, come down here.’ I said ‘where you at’. She told me like ten times, but I couldn’t understand what she was saying because she was so hysterical,” Tiffany McElveen said of her mother, who was not injured.* Full article: http://wnct.com/2016/02/21/4-bicyclists-in-serious-condition-after-... <http://wnct.com/2016/02/21/4-bicyclists-in-serious-condition-after-being-hit-by-car-in-johnston-county/> *Highway Patrol said two of the victims suffered head injuries.* *The victims were listed in the following conditions at WakeMed:* *Joel Lawrence, stable* *Lynn Lashley, critical* *Christopher Graham, stable* *Mike Dayton, critical* Additional article: http://abc11.com/news/cyclists-in-hospital-after-being-hit-by-car-i... <http://abc11.com/news/cyclists-in-hospital-after-being-hit-by-car-in-angier/1209921/> -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
