ALBUQUERQUE – Albuquerque police have identified a bicyclist killed in a collision with a city dump truck.He was 64-year-old Timothy Vollmann.
Police say he may have lost control of his bike and swerved in front of the dump truck Thursday evening.
He was wearing a helmet, but was pronounced dead at the scene.
Police say the driver of the truck had finished his shift and was returning the vehicle to the yard when the accident occurred. Police say he won’t not face any charges.
I just saw the article in the Albuquerque paper and was shocked. I remember the last time I saw Tim (and his wife) at the FBA conference two years ago and we shared some memories when we both worked in DC back in the 80s. I hadn’t seen him for 20 years but he remembered that my Dad had worked at Interior and asked about him–that’s the kind of person he was. Tim was a great guy and a great attorney and I will miss him. My condolences to his family.
I worked with and against Tim; he was a very good lawyer and a consummate gentlemen.
I agree it is a very very big loss. I was very lucky to have a chance to work with Tim on some of his cases and he was a wonderful man and I learned a lot from him … he was the best attorney and the knowledge he had was amazing. He will be very missed by many many people!!!
