District Attorney Craig Westberg died Wednesday evening in a Scottsdale, Ariz., hospital after breaking his neck in a mountain biking accident last weekend.

Nancy Hoyt, the spokeswoman for the family, said Westberg died about 11 p.m. with his family and his dog at his side.

Westberg, the chief prosecutor for Archuleta, San Juan and La Plata counties was injured last weekend somewhere in Arizona. Sources familiar with the accident said Westberg flipped over his handlebars and broke his neck. His wife, Jan Westberg, was with him and performed cardiopulmonary resuscitation until medics arrived.

District Attorney-elect Todd Risberg was sworn in Monday as deputy District Attorney, and was scheduled to be sworn in as the new DA on Jan. 13.

Assistant District Attorney Kim Kitchen is the acting District Attorney.

No funeral arrangements have been made at this time.
