Cyclist's injuries still a mystery

12:01 PM CST on Thursday, January 8, 2004

KVUE News

Police are trying to determine what happened to an Austin cyclist  
apparently left for dead along a Southwest Austin roadway.

Andy Whitelock, 26, was found Sunday morning at the University Federal  
Credit Union. He called for help there after walking nearly a mile  
following an incident on his bike.

Whitelock was severely beaten and is recovering at Brackenridge  Hospital 
after more than five hours of reconstructive surgery.

Investigators aren't sure what happened.

"If anyone was at that intersection, which we assumed was very safe, he  has 
ridden his bike home from there a million times," said Rosie  Whitelock, his 
mother. "If someone saw something, that they will come  and say I saw this 
and maybe it will help,"

Doctors say every bone in Whitelock's face was broken and he lost two  
liters of blood.

Injured cyclist can't recall incident

Police are seeking information about how a man was critically injured  in 
Southwest Austin early Sunday.

Detective Matthew Greer said John Andrew Whitelock, 26, had been riding  his 
bicycle near MoPac Boulevard (Loop 1) and U.S. 290 about 4 a.m.  when he was 
injured. Whitelock has no memory of what happened, but  Greer said his 
injuries are consistent with an assault.

Whitelock broke into a University Credit Union nearby to trigger its  alarm 
and alert authorities. He remained in Brackenridge Hospital on  Tuesday.

"We have some things we are looking into," Greer said.

He asked anyone with information to call 974-4402 or CrimeStoppers at  
472-8477.
