Then man who was critically injured in a Rickenbacker Causeway bicycle accident last month has been identified as a well-known local orthopedic surgeon.
The incident happened on Saturday, Aug. 29, around 8:30 a.m. when 63-year-old Dr. Gilbert Beauperthuy-Rojas was hit by a driver as he pedaled along the Causeway — a six-laned toll road that sees roughly half a million cyclists and about 10 million vehicles annually, according to reporting from The Miami Herald and Florida International University’s Caplin News. He was rushed to Jackson Memorial Hospital.
The driver remained at the scene and cooperated with police in their investigation. Additional information, including the circumstances surrounding the crash have yet to be released.
