Princeton Councilman Tim Quinn was recovering Thursday in a Pennsylvania hospital after breaking four ribs and suffering other injuries in an accident Wednesday during a charity bike ride.
Quinn said he was about 10 miles from Lewisburg, coming from State College, when he “got stuck in a groove after a big bump transitioning from a paved surface to a milled surface” sometime between 11 a.m. and noon. He was wearing a helmet.
He said he lost consciousness for about two minutes, and was taken to the hospital. He said he suffered four broken ribs, a broken collarbone and a bruised lung.
Quinn was due to be released from Geisinger Medical Center, in Danville, on Friday. He said he would continue with the Anchor House Bike ride in a “support role” in one of the tour’s rover vehicles.
This was Quinn’s 25th year participating in the weeklong ride that ends Saturday, at Quakerbridge Mall, after a span of 500 miles.
