Report on fatal bicycle collision in Pittsfield Township given to prosecutors for review

Washtenaw County prosecutors are now reviewing a report on the July 28 collision in Pittsfield Township that resulted in the death of a bicyclist from Saline, authorities said.

It's routine for police to send such cases to prosecutors in a fatal collision investigation, said Gordy Schick, the township's deputy director of police services.

Tim Pincikowski, 45, was riding his bicycle north on Maple Road south of Ellsworth Road when the rear end of it was struck by the front passenger side of a 2002 Dodge Caravan traveling in the same direction, police have said.

Pincikowski was rushed to University of Michigan Hospital, where he was pronounced dead a short time later.

The driver of the van - a 20-year-old Clinton man - was not injured in the 5:07 p.m. accident. His name has not been released.

A bike ride honoring Pincikowski is being hosted by the Washtenaw Bicycling and Walking Coalition next week. It begins at 5 p.m. Tuesday at Pioneer High School. The group will travel about 3.5 miles to the site of the accident, stop for a brief service, and then return to Pioneer at approximately 6 p.m.
