BOULDER — The driver involved in a Lefthand Canyon crash in August that left former professional cyclist Dale Stetina with life-threatening injuries has been cited by the Colorado State Patrol for his role in the accident.
Ryan Dowd, 40, of Longmont, was issued a summons for careless driving resulting in bodily injury — a Class 1 traffic offense — according to the Boulder County District Attorney’s Office. He is scheduled to appear in court for an arraignment Jan. 8.
According to the Colorado State Patrol, Dowd was driving a 1999 Jeep SUV west up the canyon on Aug. 31 when he pulled across the center line and onto a shoulder on the opposite side of the road. Dowd then attempted to pull back into the westbound lane just as Stetina and a group of cyclists headed east on the roadway came around a slight bend, officials said.
