Police trying to ID severely injured bicyclist

 Grand Haven Public Safety officers are trying to determine what happened in the minutes before a bicyclist was found seriously injured in a ditch. Officers were called to Harbor Island Drive just north of Coho Drive shortly after 10:45 a.m. Wednesday. There, they found a bicyclist with a severe head injury, lying in a ditch partially filled with water. Witnesses told authorities the man had been riding on a bike path from Spring Lake south, over the lift bridge before the incident.
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.
