Witnessed a bicycle accident today
This morning on my way to be dropped off to my riding location, I saw on the opposite lane an car that apparently hit a cyclist. The bicycle was on the ground. Car flashing hazards.
Oddest thing is the woman driver was balling away and hyper-ventilating while the cyclist seems to be calming her down.
I am glad the cyclist didn't appear to be injured.
The road was narrow that approaches a wooden narrow bridge. I am guessing the rider and the car was squeezing together to get on the narrow bridge deck. Both got into contact.

Sadly, it's not really as much a joke as it should be. People have sued for such things. Heck, a while back I remember reading here about a guy who killed a cyclist suing the family for damages to his car.
