FIVE-MONTH INVESTIGATION
CONCLUDES THAT 75-YEAR-OLD
MAN RAN A STOP SIGN ON HIS
BICYCLE AND WAS HIT BY
SPEEDING CAR ON FLAGLER.
DRIVER OF CAR WILL BE CITED
BUT STATE ATTORNEY SAYS
NO CRIMINAL CHARGES ARE
WARRANTED
KWTN Team Report
On the afternoon of last
April 27, 75-year-old Richard
Lionel Clements ran a stop sign
on his bicycle and was killed
when he was struck by a car
being driven by a 32-year-old
Big Coppitt woman.
After a five-month-long
investigation, the Key West
Police Department released the
investigative report this week.
Clements was traveling
south on 11th Street and, according
to a witness, he attempted to
cross Flagler Avenue “without
stopping or looking.”
Clements’ son, Jonathan
Clements, said that his father
may have died because the stop
sign on 11th Street may have
been hard to see and because
the driver of the car may have
been speeding.
