Bicycling Safety Concerns Raised After Dartmouth Coach's Serious Injury
Bicyclists are raising safety concerns after a man, identified as Eugine “Buddy” Teevens, was critically injured in a crash on A1A in St. Johns County. Although Teevens crossed in the wrong spot, some say the area is still dangerous for bike riders and walkers. The Florida Highway Patrol reported another crash involving a bicyclist and truck on a different part of A1A a day after Teevens was hit. The county has improved the road, but more needs to be done to make crosswalks safer. Crosswalk locations are currently in the design phase, with construction not expected until next year.
