Here is an update on the bike rider, Ryan Brown, from his friend Rich Speckart.

Friends of Ryan have put together a YouCaring Compassionate Crowdfunding website to raise money to help Ryan’s wife and two young sons.

Thank you for providing more information on the accident. I’m relieved to hear that Ryan not only survived, but that the doctors expect him to emerge from his coma and recover, although I can imagine Ryan will face a long and difficult road ahead. I’ll be sure to pass along the YouCaring site to my friends and family, and will make a donation myself later today. Please let his family know there are many people in the community sending warm wishes their way and praying for Ryan’s full and speedy recovery. Nancy S.

From Alexandria PD

Subject: NOTIFICATION: Crash Investigation

Eastbound Duke Street is closed at W Taylor Run Parkway for a vehicle collision investigation. The traffic crash involved a bicyclist and a car. The adult male bicyclist was taken to the hospital with serious injuries.

I was in my car driving past the accident scene just as the ambulance pulled away. From what I could see the cyclist had to have hit the windshield with significant force, and then must have landed on the road a few inches from where the vehicle stopped. There were clothes on the road that had obviously been cut off the victim (they were in a pattern of a person lying prone) and the bicycle was off to the side. Four hours later when I drove by the police had set up a tent and were still processing the scene, so it had to have been very serious. Does anyone know if the cyclist survived or how he’s doing?
