Dublin, VA (April 20, 2025) – Authorities in Pulaski County are asking for help after a bicyclist was killed in a hit-and-run crash late Thursday night.
On April 17, Virginia State Police were dispatched around 8:29 p.m. to the 400 block of Broad Street, also recognized as Route 11, in the town of Dublin. When they arrived, they discovered 46-year-old Amrik Singh lying unresponsive in the southbound lanes. A bicycle was found nearby, suggesting Singh had been riding before the incident occurred.
Tragically, Singh, originally from India, was pronounced dead at the scene. Based on early findings, troopers believe a blue tractor trailer may have struck him and left the scene without stopping. Investigators are actively working to identify the driver and the vehicle involved. The Virginia State Police are urging anyone with information to come forward. Even the smallest detail could prove critical in finding the individual responsible for this fatal crash.
We hope those affected by this loss find peace during this incredibly difficult time.
Bicycle Accidents in Virginia
Cycling accidents in Virginia often result in serious outcomes, especially when larger vehicles are involved. According to state data, bicyclists are at significantly higher risk of injury or death in collisions due to the lack of physical protection compared to drivers. In 2023 alone, hundreds of bicycle-related crashes were reported statewide, with dozens ending in fatalities or critical injuries.
Understanding how these accidents can happen helps highlight where more caution is needed:
- Limited Visibility: Many bicycle crashes occur during early morning or evening hours when visibility is reduced. Cyclists are often harder to spot in low light, even when using reflectors or headlights. Drivers must remain alert at all times, especially when sharing the road with vulnerable users.
- Driver Inattention: Distracted driving is a growing concern. Whether it’s a quick glance at a phone or adjusting the radio, even a second of distraction can lead to tragedy. Drivers need to be fully focused, particularly in areas where bicycles are common.
- Passing Too Closely: Virginia law requires drivers to give at least three feet of space when passing a cyclist. Failing to do so can lead to dangerous encounters, especially on narrow roads or streets with no designated bike lanes.
- Failure to Yield: Some crashes happen when drivers fail to yield at intersections, assuming they have the right of way over a cyclist. This misunderstanding can result in serious injury or death for the cyclist.
