Bicyclist Assaulted by Motorist

Friday, July 25th Dan Cooley reported that he was assaulted on his way to work. For six months Cooley has been riding his bike to work at The Parkland Medical Center. The incident happened on Barret Avenue in the Highlands area in Jefferson County.

Cooley was riding when he was nearly hit by a motorist pulling out of a parking lot. According to Cooley "words were exchanged" At that point Cooley went to the sidewalk. The motorist went after him, hitting his bike and knocking him over. Cooley then said another passenger got out of the car and assaulted him by hitting him in the face.

Cooley’s injuries are not as bad as they could have been according to Cooley. As a result of the assault/accident he has a torn ligament.

With the road-rage reaching almost deadly proportion it is vital to keep you head in any situation. It is always best to do the hardest thing and that's to walk away. You can never be sure what is going on with the other person.
