Segway Chief Dies in Segway Accident
James W. Heselden, the owner of the company that makes the Segway, died Sunday morning when he drove one of the two-wheeled scooters off a cliff close to his home in West Yorkshire, England. The West Yorkshire police did not treat his death as suspicious, Neil Wardley, a police spokesman, said, adding that a local coroner had yet to establish the exact cause of death. Mr. Heselden, 62, fell into the River Wharfe while riding a Segway on his estate. The vehicle was also recovered from the river, the police said. Mr. Heselden, a British millionaire, bought Segway in January. He had made his fortune with Hesco Bastion, which produces foldable protection containers that were used by the military and to control flood waters. READ MORE
