Re: [EVDL] [SPAM?] Re: [SPAM?] Re: Besot helmetless AZ e-cyclist lost-balance, fell & fatally struck head
No different than a private airplane. If one crashes it is big, big
news. If a car crashes, who cares?
I can't wait for the news droids to go nuts when an electric airplane
crashes. *sigh*
Cheers!

Haven't heard that used in years :-)
Just curious...
If someone got killed while drunk driving and happened to be driving a
Tesla or other electric car would that make it EV related news?

Cyclist falls off bike and dies in hospital
[20150924] • Carmen Duarte
A cyclist who fell off his electric-powered bicycle died Wednesday
at
Banner-University Medical Center Tucson, police said.
The cyclist was identified as Joseph Brzuchalski, 49, said Sgt. Pete
Dugan,
a Tucson Police Department spokesman. He said alcohol appears to
have
been
a
factor in the crash.
On Monday at about 5:30 p.m., officers responded to South Fourth
Avenue and
East Ninth Street for a report of an injured cyclist in the road,
said
Dugan.
Officers found out that the man had fallen off his bicycle. Tucson
Fire
Department paramedics treated the man and took him to the hospital
with
life-threatening injuries.
During the investigation, police learned that the crash was captured
on
video by a city streetcar, which was traveling south on Fourth
Avenue
about
half a block away from the cyclist, Dugan said.
The video showed that the cyclist was originally heading east on
Eighth
Street and then turned south on to Fourth Avenue. He was traveling
along
the
western curb area and no vehicles were in the road. He also did not
enter
into the rail tracks, said Dugan.
The cyclist was seen adjusting his backpack, which appeared to cause
him to
lose his balance. He then fell to the ground where he struck his
head. He
was not wearing a helmet, said Dugan.
As of January, there have been 42 traffic fatalities in the city,
compared
to 23 at this time last year, according to police statistics.

On September 21, 2015 at approximately 5:30 p.m., Tucson Police
Department
officers responded to the area of South 4th Avenue and East 9th
Street for
a
report of an injured cyclist, 49-year-old Joseph Brzuchalski, who
had
fallen
off of an electric powered bicycle.
Tucson Fire responded to the scene and immediately transported Mr.
Brzuchalski to Banner University Medical Center with life
threatening
injuries.
During the investigation it was revealed that the collision was
captured on
video by a Sunlink rail vehicle. The Sunlink vehicle was traveling
southbound on 4th Avenue about a half a block away from Mr.
Brzuchalski.
The
video showed that Mr. Brzuchalski was originally eastbound on 8th
Street
and
then turned southbound on to 4th Avenue. He was traveling along the
western
curb area with no vehicles in the roadway and did not enter into the
rail
tracks.
Mr. Brzuchalski was seen adjusting his backpack, which appeared to
cause
him
to lose his balance. Mr. Brzuchalski then fell to the ground where
he
struck
his head. He was not wearing a helmet.
On September 23, 2015 Mr. Brzuchalski succumbed to his injuries and
was
pronounced deceased at Banner University Medical Center. Alcohol
appears to
have been a factor in the collision.
