Bremerton, Washington Cyclist Fatally Struck By SUV


Posted on Jul 11, 2009

According to the Seattle Times, a cyclist was hit and killed in a bicycle accident by an SUV at a rural intersection near Bremerton, Washington.

The Kitsap County Sheriff's Office reported that the accident took place at around one in the afternoon last Saturday, June 4, northwest of Bremerton and not far from Wildcat Lake. More specifically, the bike accident took place at the Northwest Holly Road intersection with Wildcat Lake Road Northwest in Central Kitsap.

The fatal Washington bicycle accident occurred when 69-year-old James McClurkan was hit by a 2003 Nissan Murano SUV at an intersection. The driver of the SUV was a 47-year-old woman from Kitsap County.

The bicycle rider was wearing a helmet at the time of the accident, and reportedly flew into and through the SUV's hood and windshield. After the bike accident, the body rolled off of the hood on the driver's side and into a ditch on the side of the road. McClurkan was rushed to Tacoma General Hospital in critical condition due to head injuries and brain trauma. He passed away on Sunday according to hospital officials.

Police are still investigating the case and asking anyone if they have information on the fatal bike accident. Investigators reported, however, that drugs and alcohol do not seem to be a factor in the case and that speeding was also not involved in the cyclist death. There were no other occupants in the car at the time of the cyclist accident and the driver was not injured in the crash.
