‘Irreplaceable’ | Advocates mourn loss of Charlotte cyclist in crash, demand action from city leaders (WCNC)
A tragic crash that claimed the life of a Charlotte cyclist earlier this month is sparking renewed calls for safer streets across the city.
The victim, 73-year-old Bill Yoder, was riding his bike near the intersection of East Woodlawn Road and Park Road when he was struck and killed by a semi-truck. Yoder was the father of a staff member at Sustain Charlotte, a nonprofit focused on promoting safer and more sustainable transit options.
