Berta Mikulcik, 62, of Peachtree City died Wednesday of injuries received when she flipped over her bicycle while riding down a hill Tuesday morning in the north part of the city, police said. She was “riding her bicycle on a downhill grade of [the 800 block of] Southern Shore Drive when she suddenly fell over the bicycle’s handlebars, landing in the roadway. At the time of the accident, the victim was not wearing a bicycle helmet,” a report from the Peachtree City Police Department said. “When the police officers arrived on the accident scene, Ms. Mikulcik was conscious and able to provide pertinent information concerning her identification and telephone number,” police said. “At approximately 9:32 a.m., Peachtree City medics arrived on the scene and treated the victim. Due to visible injuries to the victim’s face, head and shoulder areas, Ms. Mikulcik was transported by the Rescue Air helicopter to the Atlanta Medical Center.” Police were notified the next day that Ms. Mikulcik had died as a result of her injuries. “A comprehensive accident investigation is being conducted by investigators from the Police Department’s Community Response Team,” police said. login to post comments |
