Cycling racer hit by pickup, severely hurt while riding to job at Twin Cities bicycle retailer​

Police said the driver failed to yield and had faulty brakes on his pickup.

...Emergency medical responders took Hall to HCMC with “significant injuries,” said Deputy Police Chief Kimberly Clauson. An HCMC spokeswoman said Vick was in satisfactory condition.

Clauson said pickup driver William E. Vick Jr., 49, of Columbia Heights, was turning right before dawn from southbound Normandale onto Old Shakopee and hit Hall, whose bicycle had all the required safety lights and reflectors.

Officers arrived at the scene and cited Vick for failing to yield and “operating a vehicle with brakes not in working order,” the deputy chief said. The Minnesota Star Tribune reached out to Vick for comment on Monday about the crash, and he declined to respond.

Court records show that Vick’s driving history includes five convictions for driving after his license was revoked, three for driving without proof of insurance and one each for driving an unregistered vehicle, having expired tabs, disobeying a stop sign and speeding. The state Department of Public Safety said Monday that Hall’s license was valid at the time of the crash....

Motorist with four previous drink driving arrests, while "under the influence of 'a very high level of narcotics'" and found in possession of Xanax, struck a middle-aged couple who were bicycling on the shoulder (hard shoulder?) of the road. Wife, aged 57, died four days later. Husband, aged 61, survived. Photos show the driver hit the bikes in the area of his left headlamp, which means his car probably was completely out of his lane and possibly partly off the roadway.

The accident took place in 2017. I can find nothing about why sentencing took so long except quotes from one of the couple's children remarking to how torturous it was for the husband to keep having to go back to court as the case progressed, so it evidently was a very long and drawn out affair.

The driver initially plead not guilty but since changed his plea to one of guilty. He was sentenced to five years prison (85% mandatory), plus fines and probation.

The husband was disabled by his injuries, is now invalided and lives in an assisted living facility.
