Michael Stilger, 41, Identified in Fatal West Pages Lane Bicycle Crash

A prosecutorial review is underway to determine whether the driver faces charges.

Overview

  • Michael Stilger, 41, was identified by the coroner as the bicyclist killed in the 4900 block of West Pages Lane around 8:30 p.m. Monday.
  • Police say he was riding in the same direction as a car that hit him, trapping him under the vehicle, and he died at the scene.
  • The driver continued for a distance before stopping and calling for help, with witnesses saying the stop came about 0.7 miles away.
  • Witnesses said bystanders chased the car and had to jack it up to free Stilger from beneath it.
  • LMPD’s Traffic Unit is investigating and will consult the Commonwealth’s Attorney, as officials plan rumble strips, larger lighted stop signs, and wider lane markings on a road neighbors call dangerous.
