Two well-known men from St Joseph were killed in unusual traffic accidents over the weekend.

Late Friday night, Robert Eidmann,43,was killed in a head-on collision on Mitchell Avenue. Investigators believe Eidmann’s scooter crossed into oncoming traffic and hit a car. A passenger in the car suffered minor injuries. Eidmann is the former owner of St Joseph Honda and a former account executive at Eagle Radio.

On Saturday afternoon, police say two bicyclists collided at 26th and Union Street. One of them, Robert Bailey Jr, 52, fell to the pavement and hit his head. Bailey was not wearing a helmet, and later died from head trauma. Both cyclists were members of a local bicycle club, and were engaged in a “pub crawl” at the time of the accident. Police cannot confirm the widespread belief that the men had left the Trails West! festival just prior to the accident.
