I saw this one too.

Here's another well written article covering the tragedy. Please be
aware that the photo in this article is pretty disturbing- you get a
better sense of how horrible it was. It is sure something that I
never want to see again.

It's really sad and goes to show that even when we take all the
precautions that we can, things like this will happen.

ps. doug- i was actually run over on purpose about 4-5 years ago.

not hurt nearly as badly, but on the last Critical Mass ride one Portland Police Officer slammed on his brakes and flew over his handlebars and separated his A-C joint
