From Alpine Daily Planet

Alpine’s Larry Ebmeier died about 4 a.m. Thursday [October 6] as the result of
injuries suffered in a bicycling accident on Sunday, Sept. 19,
according to his neighbor, Brian Shugart.

Ebmeier, an avid cyclist who worked at the pharmacy at Big Bend
Regional Medical Center, died after requesting to have his ventilator
removed.

He had undergone lengthy surgery in Lubbock earlier this week in an effort to repair nerve damage in his spine, friends said.

Texas Department of Public Safety investigators from Marfa estimated
Ebmeier’s speed on his bicycle while heading east on Highway 90 at
around 40 miles per hour before impact. Larry hit the rear of a legally
parked car in the shoulder near the Marfa Lights viewing area, the DPS
said. The occupants had pulled over to take a photograph of the Marfa
sign before Ebmeier ran into their parked car, the DPS report said.  

He suffered very serious head and neck injuries.

There was a small hill that Ebmeier was descending, which could
account for his speed, a friend said; there was also a tailwind from the
west though nothing too significant. 

“Why Larry did not see the parked car is anyone's  guess,” the friend
said. “That Sunday was a beautiful morning to be out for a ride, and
Larry's efforts must have been directed to going as fast as he could,
not expecting a car to be parked in the shoulder of Highway 90.  The
force of the impact broke Larry’s bike into three pieces.”
