Bicyclist Seriously Injured in Boone N.C. Bike Wreck

On Monday, a bicyclist was seriously injured in a Boone, North Carolina bicycle wreck.  The wreck happened just after noon on Blowing Rock Road near the IHOP Restaurant.

According to reports, the bicyclist was riding in the bike lane when he struck the side of a turning minivan.  Apparently, the driver of the minivan was attempting to turn into the lot for the IHOP Restaurant when the wreck occurred.

The bicyclist was transported to Watauga Medical Center for treatment.

The wording of the news article suggests that the bicyclist was to blame for this accident.  Based on the facts as I read them, it appears that the woman driving the minivan failed to yield the right-of-way to the bicyclist and caused the crash.  Police are still investigating the accident.

Bicyclist Injured in Corolla, NC Bike Accident

A 62 year old woman from Pennsylvania was riding along N.C. 12 in Corolla on Sunday morning when she was hit by a van.  The accident happened around 10:25 am near the 700 block of Ocean Trail.  Reports indicate that a taxi van traveling in the same direction hit the woman as she rode along with her husband.

The injured woman was transported to Sentara Hospital in Norfolk, VA for treatment.  The driver of the van was cited for failure to maintain lane control.

We certainly hope that the injured bicyclist is OK after this accident.  Based on the facts of the accident, it would be worth investigating why the van failed to see the woman and her husband riding along the roadway.  Hopefully, State Highway Patrol investigators checked the cell phone of the driver to determine if he was using his phone at the time of the wreck.
