About | Scottsdale Cyclist's Fight For Her Life Ends Posted At : March 2, 2010 7:23 PM | Posted By : Rick Bernardi Related Categories: Cyclist fatalities Last week, we reported that a cyclist in Scottsdale, Arizona was fighting for her life after being hit by a passing garbage truck. We are sorry to report that her fight for life ended yesterday, when she died at a Scottsdale hospital. Cindie Holub, 53, was injured on the afternoon of February 24 while cycling east on Dynamite Boulevard. An unidentified Waste Management driver, 50, was traveling in the same direction, and attempted to pass Holub, who, according to reports, was riding on the “far right side of the road.†As he attempted to pass, the right front of the driver’s truck hit Holub, causing injuries that were described as “life-threatening†at the time of the collision. We have received an unconfirmed report that the driver was attempting to pass “despite oncoming traffic.†According to this unconfirmed report, Holub had been training for a decathlon.
