This is really sad. I am glad he is doing okay for what all has happened. This is some more support for being constantly vigilant. If I may ask, did this happen at night or during the day? If he was hit, it is a really cowardly thing to not even stick around to help the victim. Or even call EMS. What has this world come to?

EDIT: This brings up a good idea I have had. Is there anything like a "Lifeline Medalert" for bikers? I would think something that clips on to a helmet and registers impacts and then dials EMS with a prerecorded message could be a serious lifesaver for us cyclists. By law, cellular phone devices have to be able to dial emergency services without any sort of plan or paid service, so one would think this would be a great way to save lives. Any one have a lead on something like this?
