Subject: Collision at Peoria TT





I was contacted by a local who was riding Peoria Rd. northbound just

past the TT turnaround point this past weekend when a TT racer collided

with him and his wife on their recumbents.



If this was you, please get back to me.



If you know who it was, please get back to me.



The accident happened around 10:30am, and they couldn't clearly recall

the team colors. "Greenish" was the somewhat uncertain recollection.

No number was recorded.



The racer told them he had his head down and didn't see them. He was

very polite and hung around with them long enough to make sure they were

"ok". They called their son to come pick them up, and this took some

time for him to arrive.



Once they got to the finish area, they checked in with the officials,

but could not find any information on who this rider was to see if he

was alright or to exchange information.



Thanks for any assistance.



Regards,



Jim Fischer
