Car strikes Moss Bluff bicyclist

A Lake Charles man who was hit by a car Wednesday as he rode his bicycle on Coffey Road in Moss Bluff died Friday, authorities said. Lance Bob, 31, was traveling west in the middle of the lane at about 7 p.m. when he was struck from behind by a westbound car, said Calcasieu Parish Sheriff’s Office spokeswoman Kim Myers. Bob was flown to a Lafayette hospital, where he died on Friday, she said. Officials don’t believe the driver of the car was impaired, but they took toxicology samples for analysis, Myers said. “Bob’s bicycle had no lights and the area where the crash occurred was dark because there were no street lights,” she wrote in a news release.
After a serious or fatal bicycle accident, take these steps to help the recovery process

When someone is seriously injured in a bicycle accident, the first days and weeks are spent getting medical treatment and dealing with the new reality of injuries, pain, lost work, and disruption to normal life. When someone dies in a crash, family members are forced to deal with grief, anger, and loss as they struggle to move forward.

After a serious or fatal bicycle collision, an injured person, or the family left behind, incur damages including the cost of current and future medical expenses, lost work and wages, pain and suffering, and loss of enjoyment of life. When the crash is caused by a negligent driver, there may be financial recovery available for the victims.
