BOULDER, Colo.—The brother of U.S. Bicycling Hall of Famer Dale Stetina says he’s making progress after suffering a serious brain injury during a bike accident in Lefthand Canyon near Boulder.
Authorities say Stetina crashed Saturday when he swerved and braked trying to avoid an SUV that pulled into his lane. KMGH-TV reports () that Wayne Stetina says his brother regained full-body movement Monday, easing his family’s fears about possible paralysis. Wayne Stetina called it “incredible progress.”
Stetina is being treated at Boulder Community Hospital. The 57-year-old was a member of the 1976 and 1980 U.S. Olympic teams and won more than 200 domestic and international bike races during a career from 1965 to 1983.
Authorities say he was wearing a helmet when he crashed.
