Death
Gerry Bertier spent ten years after his accident with one goal: to make life for others with disabilities easier. His ambition was cut short on March 20, 1981. As Bertier was driving home from a business trip, a northbound car crossed over the center line on Route 20 in Charlottesville and struck Bertier's southbound 1980 Oldsmobile. Bertier died nearly two hours later in the University of Virginia hospital. A man from Schulyer, Virginia was charged with manslaughter and driving under the influence of alcohol in connection with the accident.
