The Miami Herald
Jan. 18–A bicyclist was struck and killed by a car in a
hit-and-run Sunday morning on the Rickenbacker Causeway near
the entrance to Key Biscayne — after which the motorist
dragged the crushed bike four miles down Crandon Boulevard with
at least one other car, cyclists and police in pursuit.
As the fatally injured cyclist fell to the pavement on
Bear Cut Bridge, bleeding profusely, the car, a silver
Volkswagen Jetta, barely paused, horrified witnesses said.
The car, its windshield smashed by the impact of the
cyclist’s body, dragged the bicycle at a high speed into the
middle of the village of Key Biscayne, where the mangled bike
became dislodged.
The motorist then drove several blocks more on Crandon and
turned into Grapetree Drive near the southern end of the
island, where he was apprehended by Key Biscayne police. The driver appeared to be impaired.
Any news on that 9W crash?
