Ben Bolliger News Today

The fatal incident on Highway 97 happened only a week before Go By Bike Week, an annual event that celebrates cycling as a way to commute to work and school.

ICBC is making changes to how cyclists and pedestrians are billed for damage to vehicles in collisions where they have some responsibility. The changes come after cyclist Ben Bolliger went public when he received a $3,700 bill after being hit by a car.

ICBC says it will not bill most pedestrians and cyclists if they are involved in a collision that damages a vehicle under B.C.'s no-fault insurance plan.

In March, Ben Bolliger got a bill from ICBC for $3,752.01, the cost to fix the windshield and hood of a car after a crash in Vancouver

When a car ran a stop sign and hit cyclist Ben Bolliger in Vancouver last July, his right arm was broken so badly he required external metal rods to put the bones back together.

ICBC is changing the way it deals with crashes involving cyclists and pedestrians, and it's good news for them, but not so much for drivers.
