Google "Precott Arizona bicycle" and the story comes right up. Looks like an
accident and not "murder".


From the Prescott Daily Courier -

Cold weather, rain cause slew of accidents Friday morning
Bicycle-versus-automobile incident results in fatality
By MIRSADA BURIC-ADAM

The Daily Courier PRESCOTT - Freezing temperatures over night turned wet
surfaces of local roads - but mainly in Prescott - into black ice that caused
at least 15 accidents Friday morning, including one that claimed the life of a
Prescott College dean.

Steven Craig Walters, 55 and dean of the Adult Degree Programs, died in a
bicycle-automobile accident on Williamson Valley Road.

According to a Yavapai County Sheriff's Office (YCSO) report, at around 7:45
a.m. Walters was northbound on Williamson Valley Road just north of Sylvan
Drive when he, for unknown reasons, lost control of his bicycle.

Witnesses at the scene said that his bike fell into the path of a trailer that
a vehicle behind Walters was pulling, according to the report. Weather
conditions do appear to have been the cause of the accident but the
investigation into this accident is pending, the YCSO said.

Prescott College President Dan Garvey said, according to a press release, "the
Prescott College community is in shock. This is a tremendous loss for us and we
are all grieving. We send our heartfelt sympathy to his family."

In addition to devoting himself to education, Walters was an avid biker,
according to the press release.

"He rode about 30 to 50 miles a day," said Paul Sneed, core faculty member in
the Master's of Arts Degree Program. "It was one of his passions."

Most of my info came from the dead riders long time riding partner. A
very trusted business leader. There may be more to tell in near future
as investigation goes on.
That area where he was killed is full of rich and powerful people.

I'm sure we'll appreciate updates as that happens. It strikes me as
bizarre that a complaint wasn't filed after earlier events.

Which has what to do with aught?

Who said or indicated that no complaints were filed? I don't know
anything about that incident in Prescott, but I do know of local
cases where complaints were made after drivers threatened or
forced cyclists off the road. Never saw any newspaper articles
about those cases and they don't show up in any Google search.
But if those drivers were subsequently involved in a suspicious
'accident' I'd expect the investigating police to take the previous
complaints into account.

"...It strikes me as

This was my thought as well.

And perhaps a bit of advise to 'mudflap':

Don't use terms like murder when they are inaccurate, and unproven
Read what you type before posting;
Fragments(incorrectly punctuated or otherwise), such as:

:...Same pickup driver has ran over 25 club riders off the same road in last
2 years..."

and:

"...Most of my info came from the dead riders..."

can be interpreted many ways- all of which I suspect at this point- are
inaccurate.

My condolences to the family and friends of Mr. Walters.
