US-ACCIDENT-RELIGION-BICYCLE
This undated photo obtained December 31, 2014, courtesy of the Episcopal Diocese of Maryland shows Bishop Suffragan Heather Cook. The first female Episcopal bishop in Maryland has been put on leave after she was involved in the hit-and-run death of a bicyclist, her diocese said December 29, 2014. Bishop Suffragan Heather Cook drove off after she struck 41-year-old Tom Palermo on a tree-lined residential street in Baltimore on December 27, 2014, then drove off. She returned to the scene about 20 minutes later "to take responsibility for her actions," Bishop Eugene Sutton said in a statement. "Because the nature of the accident could result in criminal charges, I have placed Bishop Cook on administrative leave, effective immediately." He urged the faithful to "please pray for Mr Palermo, his family and Bishop Cook during this most difficult time." Palermo was well-known in the Baltimore area for hand-crafting bicycle frames in his own shop, and his death sparked anger among fellow cyclists. AFP PHOTO/EDOM/RANDALL A. GORNOWICH/HANDOUT
