Dave Scott, a six-time Ironman world champ and triathlon coach, was hit by a car Sunday in Boulder while riding his bike on Wonderland Hill Avenue near Linden Avenue. Boulder police ticketed the 61-year-old driver.
Police said Ramona Sands, of Boulder, was driving slowly while looking for an open house and, thinking she had passed it, made a U-turn.
She told police she heard someone shouting as she was turning left and stopped her car. Police said Scott, who estimated he was going about 24 miles per hour, couldn’t brake fast enough and hit the side of Sands’ car.
Sands was ticketed with careless driving causing bodily injury. Police said Scott dislocated his shoulder and broke his wrist and a finger.
Friends said Scott spent Sunday night at Boulder Community Hospital and underwent surgery on his shoulder Monday at the Steadman Hawkins Clinics in Vail.
