Virginia Cyclist Suffers Head injury After Hit and Run Accident
Posted on May 18, 2010
Just ten minutes into a spring bicycle ride one member of a cycling group was forced off of the road and suffered a serious head injury. The injured biker, a physics professor at Southwest Community College, was taking part in a six-man bike ride when an older red truck attempted to pass him.
The accident occurred on Old Saltworks Road in Abington. The portion of the road where the accident occurred has both a double yellow line and a blind curve. Despite this the diesel truck attempted to pass the group. While passing, the driver saw a motorcycle approaching in the opposite direction and moved into the group of bikers. Mike Seymour was leading the group and was aware of the truck approaching and then moving toward the cyclists.
"We had to take to the ditch," Seymour said. "Either that or he was going to run over us. I had a red fender just inches off my elbow."
At this point the professors' front wheel caught the wheel of the bike in front of him. The professor, Ted Dingler, was thrown over his handlebars and landed head first on the street.
The motorcyclist and the cyclists all rushed to his aid. The driver of the truck however, did not stop. The accident is being called a hit and run.
At the time of this report Dingler was conscious but suffering from amnesia. According to his long time girlfriend he does not recognize her or any of his three children. The family and doctors are hopeful that Dingler will recover from his head injury. However, the road may be long and lead to some permanent brain damage.
The attorneys at Tavss Fletcher hope that Professor Dingler makes a quick and full recover from his injuries.
