Bicyclist still in critical condition after wreck

Sep. 3--HIGH POINT -- A bicyclist who was severely injured after riding into traffic on N. Main Street near the High Point Public Library last weekend remains in critical condition, 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 Saturday 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.

After hitting Daniel, the Honda did not stop.

Several witnesses ran to try to help Daniel.

Daniel was taken to Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center, where he was still being treated Thursday.

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.

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

Police said no information on the accident was released until Thursday because of a delay in finding Daniel's relatives.
