A head on collision resulted in the death of a bicyclist. Doug Flynn was the president of a local bicycling club on a local ride with the group. Another member was injured, but Doug Flynn was killed on the spot.

No criminal charges were placed against the driver, which tried to pass a farm vehicle with the sun in her eyes.
