Flo Mccall Car Accident; Florence ‘Flo’ McCall-Phillips, Portrait Photographer Dies in Vehicle Bicycle Collision
A quiet Saturday afternoon in Teton County, Wyoming, was shattered by tragedy when a vehicle struck and killed a bicyclist at the intersection of South Park Loop Road and Melody Creek Ranch Road.
The accident occurred around 2:24 p.m. on Saturday, prompting a swift emergency response from local law enforcement and medical personnel. Despite their efforts, the bicyclist was pronounced dead at the scene.
Teton County Coroner Dr. Brent Blue later identified the victim as 65-year-old Florence “Flo” McCall-Phillips, a well-known and beloved member of the local community.
Her sudden passing has left family, friends, and neighbors in deep mourning. Flo was an avid cyclist, nature lover, and respected figure in Teton County, known for her vibrant spirit and deep-rooted love for the outdoors.
Those who knew her describe a woman of immense energy and warmth, someone who found joy in the natural beauty of Wyoming and worked to preserve and celebrate that beauty through her life and passions.
The circumstances surrounding the accident are still under investigation by local authorities. According to initial reports from the Teton County Sheriff’s Office, the collision occurred at a busy intersection where visibility and speed have historically been concerns among residents.
Investigators have not yet released information about the driver or whether any charges may be filed. Officials confirmed that the driver remained at the scene and is cooperating with the ongoing investigation.
The tragic loss of Flo McCall-Phillips has reverberated throughout the community. A longtime Teton County resident, Flo was known not only for her love of cycling but also for her involvement in various local initiatives, particularly those related to the environment, community wellness, and the arts.
Her name was often associated with fundraising events, volunteer projects, and creative endeavors that enriched life in the Jackson Hole area. Friends and family have expressed their shock and grief on social media, remembering Flo as a kind and generous soul whose presence brought light to any room or trail she entered. “She lived with purpose, loved deeply, and gave freely,” one friend wrote. “Her absence is a void we will feel for a long time.”
Flo’s love of bicycling was a cornerstone of her lifestyle. Whether riding alone through scenic routes or joining local cycling groups, she found peace and purpose in the rhythm of the road and the connection to the land she called home. Her passion for biking inspired others to take to the trails, to appreciate their surroundings, and to live with health and mindfulness.
In the wake of her death, community members are already calling for renewed safety measures at the intersection where the accident occurred. Local advocacy groups are urging the county to consider enhanced signage, reduced speed limits, and designated bike lanes to protect cyclists and pedestrians from future tragedies.
Teton County Commissioner Natalie Miller issued a brief statement: “We are heartbroken by the loss of Florence McCall-Phillips. She was a remarkable woman and a cherished part of our community. Her death is a reminder of the vulnerability of cyclists and the urgent need to prioritize safety on our roads.”
Plans for a memorial service are underway, and those closest to Flo have expressed a desire to honor her memory in ways that reflect her values perhaps through a bike ride, a community garden dedication, or a fund supporting local environmental efforts.
As Teton County mourns the loss of one of its own, many are reflecting on the enduring legacy Flo leaves behind. Her love, kindness, and commitment to community will live on in the lives she touched—and in every ride down the winding roads she once traveled with joy and grace.
