An English socialite pedaled through Maryland this month as part of the Race Across America, the national cycling event that for years was dominated by Jure Robic, the Slovenian rider who died in 2010 after being hit on his bike during an auto accident.
At the time of his death nearly four years ago, cycling fans widely regarded Robic, who was 45, as the world’s best ultra-endurance cycler. The athlete was a five-time winner of the Race Across America, the same event in which Pippa Middleton, sister of Duchess of Cambridge Kate Middleton, is currently competing.
While drivers around Maryland and the Washington, D.C.-metropolitan area may quickly recognize the need for an auto accident attorney after a crash, pedestrians and bicycle riders are especially at risk of incurring life-threatening and even fatal injuries should they collide with a car. Despite his robust athleticism, Robic died at the scene of his accident four years ago. His injuries reportedly resulted from a head-on collision with a car while he was cycling near his home, according to local police reports.
