Davie, FL : 2nd bicyclist dies after crash in Davie with distracted driver on Tuesday, 27th November 2018

A second person is dead after a car crashed into a group of cyclists over the weekend, police said Tuesday.

“We can confirm that bicyclist Carlos Rodriguez has died from his injuries sustained in the crash on Sunday,” Davie Police Sgt. Mark Leone said.

Rodriguez, 62, had undergone surgery at Broward Health Medical Center in Fort Lauderdale before he died.

Rider Denise Marsh died Sunday about an hour after the crash on eastbound State Road 84 in Davie at about 8:38 a.m.

The group of bike riders, including members of the Cycling Family Broward club, were struck by a Honda Fit driven by Nicole Vanderweit, 33, of Broward County.

Vanderweit told investigators she was distracted and that there was sun glare before the crash, which injured six people, Leone said.
