Boulder area cycling safety advocacy groups are calling for change, in light of a fatal hit-and-run crash on Sunday morning. Law enforcement has still made no arrests in the incident.

At 11:57 a.m. Sunday, a driver fatally struck a cyclist at 95th Street and Avocet Lane, east of Boulder. Monday morning, when asked if an arrest was made, Colorado State Patrol spokesman Trooper Gabriel Moltrer wrote that there were no updates regarding the collision.

CSP is asking the public to look out for a blue Toyota Highlander with Colorado plate DTSG89 and heavy front-end damage with a missing windshield. Anyone with information is asked to call CSP dispatch at 303-239-4501 and reference case no. 1D251939.

The identity of the man who died has not yet been released by the Boulder County Coroner’s Office.

In a Monday release, The White Line Foundation, a non-profit organization set up following the death of 17-year-old cyclist Magnus White, wrote, “These deaths are preventable.”

“Magnus White and his dad Michael, rode 95th Street many times. It’s a designated bike route, it has a wide shoulder, and it has a marked and signed bike lane,” The White Line Executive Director Jacqueline Claudia stated in the release. “Every victim is someone’s child, friend, or partner. Leaving them in the road to die is inexcusable.”

The organization called on law enforcement and prosecutors to put victims first, demanded lawmakers pass the Magnus White Cyclist Safety Act, and asked the public to demand urgency from lawmakers.

Triny Willerton is the founder of It Could Be Me, another locally based cyclist safety organization. Willerton was involved in a near-fatal crash in Boulder County which led her to establish the foundation in 2019.

“I’m devastated. My heart goes out to the victim’s family,” Willerton wrote in an email.“We must protect one another when we are on the road — every person outside a vehicle is exposed. Every victim is someone’s mom, dad, son, or daughter. I know the city is rolling out infrastructure and proven safety measures that save lives, but they can’t come fast enough. Until they do, it’s on us. Drive like lives depend on you, because they do. Eyes on the road, phone down, heart engaged. Let’s choose care over negligence and keep each other alive.”

The Coalition 4 Cyclists also calls for safer cycling in Boulder County. In an email, Executive Director Matt Muir sent his condolences to the family and friends of the cyclist and said the organization wishes them strength.

“Traffic data forecasts killed and seriously injured,” Muir wrote. “It’s why C4C continues to work with its partners to fix the infrastructure and policy that condition these predictable and adverse safety outcomes.”

Muir thanked the Boulder County Sheriff’s Office, CSP and Boulder County government for their partnership and work on cycling safety.

Community Cycles Executive Director Susan Prant also extended sympathies to the victim’s family.

“We’ll wait to see more details on this particular crash, but like many rural roads in Boulder County, 95th is designed so people can — and do — travel way above safe speeds when sharing the road with bicycles and we know that the higher the speed, the less likely a person will survive a crash,” Prant wrote in an email.

“In fact, usually bicyclists don’t survive crashes where the vehicles are traveling over 20 mph.”
