Bike rider in critical condition after accident
Bike rider in critical condition after accident
The Enquirer FORT THOMAS – A Bellevue man is in critical condition after a bicycle accident this morning. A passing motorist found Timothy Greis, 22, lying unconscious in the grass along Newman Avenue, near the intersection of Carriage House Drive at about 5:15 a.m., police said. Greis was transported by the Fort Thomas Fire Department to University Hospital in Cincinnati, where he remained unconscious this morning. Fort Thomas Police Lt. Mark Dill said there was no indication Greis was hit by a car. He said Greis was not wearing a helmet. A complete reconstruction report on the accident is expected to be completed later this week. http://news.enquirer.com/apps/pbcs.d...0103/307180003 |

Exactly how does one determine that an injured unconscious person lying near but not *on* the roadway has been in a traffic crash? Most of the people I've found in that condition have been drunks that fell and hurt themselves (perhaps that's what the article means by "accident"?) or victims of violent crime. Regards, Bob Hunt |

In fairness, if sunrise is in half an hour, that makes it officially "civil
daylight" and, as I understand it, there's no legal requirement for lights - nor any real need as it's already light out.

Suburban Cincinnati has positively the worst drivers anywhere.
Don't know about the other counties, but in Campbell County, people with friends in high places can pretty much bribe the county to do as they please. -- Buy my book he http://www.lulu.com/content/112781 (recommended) http://search.barnesandnoble.com/boo...sbn=1411626559 http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/1411626559 |

If there was no indication that he'd been struck by a car and no
witnesses to any crash, I have to wonder. Exactly how does one determine that an injured unconscious person lying near but not *on* the roadway has been in a traffic crash? Pretty simple for a decent coroner to look for evidence of external trauma which consistent with being hit by a vehicle and *not* consistent with falling off a bike.
