HOLLAND CHARTER TOWNSHIP, Mich. â A ghost bike has been placed on Waverly in Holland Charter Township to mark the death of Jeffrey Green, who was killed last month while riding his bike.
This was the second fatal bike-car crash to happen in the area in the past four years.
In January 2018, Jonathan Herlein was killed when he was riding his bike southbound between 24
th and 32
nd Streets.
âItâs important that we donât sweep these tragedies under the rug,â said Meika Weiss of Pedal Holland. âWhile there are things we can do as bicyclists to help reduce our risk, it will take the whole community making safe mobility a priority to keep this from happening again.â
