-Caveat Lector- Troopers: Dutko not wearing helmet GLENWOOD SPRINGS, Colo., July 28 (UPI) _ The Colorado State Patrol says not wearing a helmet and a lack of bicycling experience caused the mishap that killed Daniel Dutko, a close friend of President Clinton and major player in the Democratic party. Fifty-four-year-old Dutko on Sunday was thrown from his mountain bike and landed on his head while riding near Aspen, Colo., where Clinton had attended a weekend fund-raiser. He died Tuesday. Colorado State Patrol Capt. F.T. Bitterman says Dutko lost control of the bike on a curve and was thrown to the road, bouncing twice and striking his head on the pavement. Bitterman says, ''Mr. Dutko was not wearing a helmet at the time of the accident. The cause of the accident was rider inexperience.'' The crash was witnessed by former Texas Land Commissioner and longtime Dutko friend Garry Mauro, who told the Austin American- Statesman the experience ''was the worst thing that ever happened to me.
