We learned this morning of a terrible accident yesterday on Lockwood Boulevard in Charleston. Our friend Edwin Gardner, headed home on his bicycle after rowing on the Ashley River, was struck by an SUV at the corner of Lockwood and Montagu.
He sustained multiple injuries and underwent emergency surgeries that went on for most of the day on Wednesday. He reportedly remains unconscious but his condition has stabilized.
Edwin works as an advisor to state governments and serves on the Peninsula Task Force.
Edwin and his entire family always ride their bicycles around the peninsula whenever possible both for their enjoyment but because they believe it's the best way to get around.
We are praying for his full recovery.

That's tragic - Montagu is a well-known safe route for cyclists - yet there is no left turning lane off Lockwood and no pedestrian crossing for at least 300 yards.
How many more tragedies will it take to get some action around here ?!!
