Authorities identify bicyclist hit, killed in crash

Police have said McDermott likely wasn't drunk nor was the driver. Police say the 23-year-old woman who hit the Forest Hills man around 6:30 p.m. stopped at the scene and cooperated with police. The case will be turned over to the district attorney once those results are known. Tests results are pending on whether the victim and the driver were sober. McDermott was taken to an area hospital where he died about three hours later.
 
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.
