An Ashburn man died of his injuries Monday following a bicycle crash last week on the Washington & Old Dominion trail, according to the Loudoun County Sheriff’s Office.

William S. Dudgeon, 55, was airlifted to Inova Fairfax Hospital on June 9 for treatment of life-threatening injuries that he sustained when he fell from his bicycle. The sheriff’s office gave no further details on Dudgeon’s injuries, but said that he was wearing a helmet at the time of the accident.

Sheriff’s deputies responded at 4:28 p.m. June 9 to the scene of the accident, on the W&OD trail just west of Ashburn Village Boulevard. Dudgeon was riding his bicycle when he attempted to pass a juvenile bicyclist on the trail, the sheriff’s office said.

The juvenile then attempted to take a side path and clipped Dudgeon’s bicycle. Dudgeon fell from his bike; the juvenile was not injured.
