Springfield MA Radio: WAQY's Dan Williams Injured While Cycling

Dan Williams
WAQY 102.1 FM midday personality Dan Williams was injured when a bicycle he was riding was struck by a truck in Ellington, Conn., on Monday afternoon.

According to masslive.com, Williams was thrown 20 feet and suffered a broken fibula and tibia, severe road rash and cuts. His safety helmet was cracked in half, according to his wife and former radio partner Kim Zachary.

"My husband has ridden cross country twice on his bicycle without incident. He will not leave the driveway without his helmet. Today that helmet saved his life," Zachary said. "It doesn't matter how young or old you are, wear the helmet. You're not Superman."

Williams is a staunch advocate of helmets.

Williams was bicycling to prepare for the upcoming 15th annual Katelynn's Ride, which raises funds for The Jimmy Fund and Baystate Medical Center's Sadowsky Center for Children.
