Family identified one of two cyclists hurt when a driver allegedly “intentionally” crashed into them on June 19, 2022, in Jefferson County as Lisa Ludwig.
JEFFERSON COUNTY, Colo. (KDVR) — One of the two cyclists who were hurt after a driver crashed into them over the weekend has been identified by her family as Lisa Ludwig. ... The 61-year-old woman was riding her bike on U.S. 40 Sunday morning near Interstate 70. Investigators say a driver in an SUV intentionally struck two of the cyclists on the ride.
“We had several witnesses stated this was an intentional act. It appears that after the driver passed one of the cyclists that the driver aimed at the cyclist and accelerated before striking them,” Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office spokesperson Jenny Fulton said. ... The car then sped away, still dragging a bike into the parking lot of El Rancho restaurant nearby.
“As far as we can tell, there was no road rage incident leading up to this or any other form of provocation,” Fulton said.
Two witnesses say the driver came up from behind the group of cyclists from Team Evergreen and hit and injured two of the last three riders. ... Ludwig was seriously hurt. Her family said she is in now stable condition but is still unresponsive.
