Bicyclist Hit On NM-4 Between Bandelier Entrance and Back Gate

 

This from yesterday's Los Alamos Reporter. Scant details so far. If you are on the Pajarito Riders list, that's another good place to check for updates if anyone saw anything. Or the Daily Post.

Be careful out there.

UPDATE: State Road 4 has reopened

New Mexico State Police, Los Alamos Police Department and Los Alamos Fire Department have responded to a traffic accident involving a vehicle and a bicyclist on State Route 4 between the Bandelier Campground and the LANL back gate.

That section of the road is expected to be closed for about two hours while the NMSP Crash Team conducts their investigation, however, State Route 4 to the Jemez remains open.

The cyclist has been transported by helicopter and no other information is available at this time.

LANL officials alerted employees to an LAPD request that they avoid the area.

I really hope the cyclist pulls through. Ugh, just terrible news, but thank you for posting this.

This cyclist left intensive care a week or so ago.

I'm hoping that someone can point me to a summary of any attempted as well as approved changes to bike laws in New Mexico. I am the cyclist who was hit on June 20, 2022.

Thanks,
Heidi

There is an e-bike bill at the legislature this term but that's not a general safety bill. I can't think of any decent legislation in NM that has come up since last year. Can anyone else?
