It is sad that all these people are getting hit and
killed.
Please keep in mind the DA not police file the
charges. It will not help to make this an anti police
thing.
According to the report posted the other day on OBRA
the police and DA are pressing charges in most cases.
Good Luck

The BTA volunteer crash team had its first meeting
last night. One of the
things that came up was exactly this, how to respond
in a timely fashion to
a
major injury or death. Get some photos of the scene,
follow up with the
police to make sure they are doing their job in
prosecuting the person at
fault, and also to see if we can help out with
funerals and memorials. It
was a small group of people who showed up for the
first meeting, we had a
lot
of ideas, but we won't be able to do a lot of it if
we don't have more
people
to help out. We especially need people who are
willing to be part of a phone
tree to take on the tasks mentioned above when
something bad happens.
So, I would encourage you, or anyone else who is
interested to contact
Evan Manvel (ev-@bta4bikes.org) at the BTA and let
him know that you want
on
the list and want to be included in future meeting
announcements. Meetings
are temporarily set at monthly until we figure out
what interval is best.
Ken
