Raleigh Bicycle Wreck Caused By Hit-And-Run Driver

A hit-and-run bicycle wreck in Raleigh early Sunday morning has resulted in injuries to the bicyclist.  The wreck happened near Hillsborough Street and Ashe Avenue close to downtown Raleigh and involved a early 2000s model Monte Carlo.  Apparently, the bicyclist was struck by the mirror of the car and police are looking for the car and its driver.

Fortunately, the bicyclist was wearing a helmet but still sustained some injuries.  However, because the bicyclist was hit by a driver who fled the scene, it may be difficult for the injured bicyclist to make a claim against any insurance for the driver.  In situations such as this, it may be important for the bicyclist to contact his/her insurance company regarding this accident.

Another bicycle wreck had occurred earlier Saturday near on on-ramp to I-540.  This accident involved a woman dragging the bicycle under her car for 1/2 mile before it fell on a on-ramp to I-540.  Police have arrested the driver in this wreck which caused injuries to the bicyclist Jason Epstein.

Scotland Neck, North Carolina Police Tases Bicyclist Causing Death of Biker

An autopsy report was recently released indicating that a Halifax County man, Roger Anthony, died after he was tased while riding his bicycle last November.

According to multiple articles, Mr. Anthony fell off his bike after police shocked him and hit his head on the pavement.  Police have said that Mr. Anthony did not respond to multiple requests to get off his bike.  However, family members of Mr. Anthony have stated that he was hard of hearing and that he suffered from siezures.  In any case, I am very concerned that poliec would choose to use a taser on a man who was sitting on a bicycle.  Certainly, there must have been other ways to control Mr. Anthony in this situation other than using a taser in a dangerous situation.

Bicycle Child Carrier Seats Recalled For Laceration and Amputation Risk

About 40,000 bicycle child carrier seats were recently recalled due to a risk of laceration and amputation.  The seats are called the Topeak seat and have been sold at a number of retail outlets including REI. 

Apparently, a child can place his or her finger in the opening at the grab bar’s hinge mechanism.  Then when the consumer lifts the grab bar to remove the child, the child’s fingertips can be caught posing a laceration or even amputation risk.  There have been at least two reported incidents of serious injuries from this child seat.
