The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reported this story about the Race Across America rider who was injured Saturday while crossing the Clark Bridge (U.S. 67) over the Mississippi River to Alton, Ill.:Daniel Maegerle wanted to be in Atlantic City, N.J., Tuesday night, celebrating his completion of - and perhaps victory in - a grueling 3,000-mile bicycle race across the country.You can read the full story about the Swiss DAMOVO Team rider at STLToday.com.
Instead, the Swiss man was in a St. Louis hospital room with broken ribs, broken bones in his back, damage to his lungs and trauma to his liver after a collision with a truck as he rode his cycle into Alton on Saturday night. One minute, he had been enjoying crossing the Mississippi River and a cooling rain; the next he was waking up at Alton Memorial Hospital.
