On Tuesday September 27th Tom
Cushman the owner of the Webster Cycle Swap was killed in a
Single Car Accident. Cushman was traveling west on CR-476, east of Simmons
Lake Road. Just before 8 pm for unknown reasons, Mr. Cushman lost control
of his GMC Yukon while negotiating a curve in the road. His vehicle
crossed over the center line and traveled into the eastbound lane of
CR-476. He then over-corrected, steering to the right which caused
the truck to drive off into the grass of the north shoulder of CR-476.
Although he will be extremely missed, owner Alice Cushman and the staff
will continue to operate the business as normal. Please feel free to
contact the respective businesses during business hours.
