Good Samaritans help after bicycle accident in Ocean Pines

(Sept. 6, 2022) Melanie Moulden, a resident of The Parke community in Ocean Pines, recently shared a story of two good Samaritans who came to her aid after a bicycle accident.  

Moulden and her husband, Bob, were bike riding along Ocean Parkway on the south side of Ocean Pines last Friday, when her bike skidded on a patch of pine needles. 

“I fell off the bike and hit the asphalt hard,” she said. “I was lying face first on the parkway when a gentleman in a white truck stopped and helped my husband pick me up. He also rendered first aid to my knee, which I greatly appreciated.” 

She said a family in an SUV also stopped to help.  

“They loaded my bike in the back of their car and drove me home, where my husband met me and took me to [the] Atlantic General Hospital emergency room,” she said. “[AGH] did x-rays on my knee and a CT scan on my head and, although I have bruises and abrasions from head to toe, there are no broken bones.  

“I can't remember the names of any of the good Samaritans, but I wanted to thank them for their kindness and assistance. There are truly wonderful people in the world,” Moulden added.
