By Julie Scharper, The Baltimore Sun

A Laurel woman was killed and three members of a family were injured after the driver lost control of her car and crashed into the family as they rested during a bike outing Sunday morning, Anne Arundel County police said.

The driver, Romota Olumemisi Koletowo, 63, was returning home from work about 10:15 when her 2001 Nissan Altima careened off the road and knocked over a light pole near the intersection of Russett Green West and Ridgemoor Drive in Laurel, police said.

The Nissan crossed a bike path, crashed into some bushes and a trash can, then struck a bench where Franz Clementschitsch, 36, was sitting and drinking water. The force of the impact sent Clementschitsch 38 feet into the woods, police said.

Like most people I live a hectic life and who has the time for much exercise? Thanks to xtracycle now I do. By using my bike for daily activities I can get things done and get an hour plus work out in 15 minutes extra of my time, not a bad deal and beats taking the extra time going to the gym. In case you are still having trouble being motivated; the National Center of Disease Control says that inactivity is the #2 killer in the United States just behind smoking. ( http://www.cdc.gov/nccdphp/bb_nutrition/ ) Get out there and start living life! I can carry home a full shopping cart of groceries, car pool two kids or just get lost in the great outdoors camping for a week. Well I got go, another outing this weekend.
