The freaking light was yellow when he was hit. If he would have waited 10 seconds he would have had the light. most of the potential cycle-vehicle accidents I see here at Terminus are cycle caused ...stands to reason no problem ...it is what it is ....low cost transport for low cost people |

Around here a lot of the accidents are truck related. The city allows big trucks on narrow streets, especially this year with all the "renovation" for the 375th anniversary. Truck driver's union and cycling organizations are both calling for better tech on trucks but nothing is happening yet. truck vision skews most upward...esp most truck vision .here in RBT we view bike sneaks up on truck, ignores truck signals, takes the lane ...

Truck driver's union and cycling organizations are both calling for better tech on trucks but nothing is happening yet. Very many of the serious or fatal truck-bike crashes seem to occur when a cyclist tries passing a truck on the curb side, and the trucker turns over the cyclist. This is what killed most of the women in London a few years ago. In most cases, it could be prevented if the cyclist did not pass on the right, whether there's a bike lane or no. But so many are deathly afraid of moving away from the curb. To put it another way: Some people are calling for better software between cyclists' ears, but nothing is happening yet. -- - Frank Krygowski |

If it's the same video I sawthen the light facing the bicyclist was RED when he roade into the intersection. Yet on other forums people are saying it was the driver's fault for hitting the bicyclist. The video shows why it's not a good idea to run red lights when there are other vehicles around. Cheers |

The cyclist clearly ran the red. -- duane |
