Exsenator dies after bike crash

Retired Sen. Mike Enzi, a Wyoming Republican known as a consensusbuilder in a polarized Washington, has died after he broke his neck in a bicycle accident. He was 77.

Enzi died peacefully Monday surrounded by family and friends, spokesman Max D’Onofrio said. He had been hospitalized with a broken neck and ribs for three days following a bicycle accident near Gillette. First elected to the Senate in 1996, voters reelected Enzi by wide margins three times before he announced in 2019 that he would not seek a fifth term.
