Does anyone know anymore about this incident??????
On Tues. 7:30 AM bike coming out of Columbia Blvd. from under the railroad
bridge heading/turning left onto Killingsworth at a green light. Taco Wagon
ran red light and creamed bike going 45 mph. Cyclist was thrown 200 feet in
the air unconscious with blood coming out of ears and mouth and torso
twisted. Does anyone know this person? I was out of town and a witness
from my work stopped and helped at the crash. The driver (hispanic) tried
to take off. Luckily my co-worker/friend stopped him. The witness does not
think the cyclist lived. He was wearing a red jersey/helmet/cycling shoes
and was colorful and easily seen in the daylight doing everything right
(proceeding through his green light). However, the sun was bright and was
blinding to the drivers heading East. Driver claimed he could not see
because of the sun (even though all drivers stopped beside him and everyone
knows there is a light there).
