We have received news of another cyclist fatality on the
roads of Tennessee. Alan
David of Crossville was injured on
August 12 and died August 17. The driver crossed the centerline and is now
charged with aggravated vehicular homicide, second offense DUI, and driving on
a revoked license. Alan David’s
tragedy is now documented on the website Every Bicyclist Counts
maintained by the League of American Cyclists.
The parents of Katelyn
Richards have filed a lawsuit against her killer who has not yet
gone to trial. She was killed by a drunk driver in Cocke County in 2011.
Unfortunately charges
are not always filed in cases where cyclists are killed or injured unless the
driver is intoxicated. Bike Walk Tennessee tries to follow these cases as best
we can. If you have updates on any deaths or accidents please forward them to careyrogers
at comcast.net.
