He unfortunately passed away some time ago.

Fairfax County PD are still looking for witnesses.

"Fairfax Advocates for Better Bicycling installed a ghost bike memorial to Chris
Benton, a local bike commuter and touring cyclist who was killed in a crash with
a vehicle last month.

The memorial is located at the corner of Fort Hunt and Belle Haven Roads in the
Belle Haven area of Alexandria. Please look for it if you pass by. Hunter
McCleary posted photos of the bike on his Picasa page: http://bit.ly/eDyPKa

I'll be trying to keep some flowers there, but if you happen to notice that it
needs them in the coming weeks and months, please consider bringing some by.

You can read more about Chris on his Crazyguy and WashCycle pages, linked at
FABB's statement and blog: http://bit.ly/hoJ04u

Thanks to Hunter, Bruce and Fionnuala for their work on this."
