Florida bike accident

BONITA SPRINGS, FL – According to Beverly.wickedlocal.com, Steve Didge, 73, was killed in a bike crash on Wednesday, January 17, 2019, in Bonita Springs, Florida. Dodge was the founder of Windover Development.

Reports indicate that Dodge was riding his bike on the sidewalk next to a busy roadway. When the victim attempted to ride across the road, he was hit by a vehicle that was traveling in the same direction. Dodge was struck from behind.

The victim was transported to the Lee County Memorial Hospital where he died from the injuries that he sustained in the crash.

Dodge was an alumnus from Yale University. After graduating in 1967, he spent three years serving in the United States Navy as an officer. Dodge was an entrepreneur who started several businesses such as the American Tower Corporation, American Cablesystems Corporation, and American Radio Systems Corporation, in addition to his Beverly-based business, Windover Development.

Windover Construction and Windover Development are real estate development companies that work in “high-end housing in Florida and Massachusetts.”

Dodge was known as a philanthropist. Both he and his wife were well-known benefactors of The Cabot and Monserrat College.

In addition to his wife, Anne, Dodge leaves behind three children and five grandchildren.

Florida has one of the worst records when it comes to cyclist safety. While the state has weather that promotes year-round cycling, Florida has few protected bike lanes and other features that help to keep cyclists safe. The state is planning to install many more bike lanes over the course of the next several years. In the meantime, many cyclists feel that they are at the mercy of inattentive and at times reckless drivers.

She's a truly good person and very caring also, I'm thankful for all of her help and just wanted to let Parker Waichman know what a valuable asset she is to your firm!
