Bicyclist dies from wreck injuries

Sep. 5--HIGH POINT -- A bicyclist who was hit by a car after riding into traffic on N. Main Street near the High Point Public Library a week ago has died, the High Point Police Department said.

John Wesley Daniel, 59, of High Point was riding a bicycle across N. Main St. near the library about noon Aug. 29 and crossed into the path of a 2010 Honda Civic driven by Lorenzo White Jr., 30, of Randleman, who was traveling north on Main Street.

Daniel died Friday at Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center in Winston-Salem, police say.

After Daniel was struck last weekend, the Honda did not stop. Several witnesses ran to try to help Daniel.

Other witnesses followed the Honda, and police found White one block away. He was arrested and charged with driving while impaired, driving while license revoked, no insurance, felony hit and run, and felony serious injury by motor vehicle.

The charges hadn't been changed as of Saturday, police told The High Point Enterprise.

White was released after posting a $20,000 unsecured bond. His next court appearance is scheduled for Oct. 5 in High Point.
