Then, takes like a bat out of hell. Another motorists sees him take off and chases him. I guess he realized someone saw him and so he returned. By this fime, I'm already on the phone with 911.
I went to the hospital, just to be checked out. Nothing broken, but the doctor thinks I will be in a lot of pain. He gave me vicadian(sorry if misspelled). I landed palms down and never hit my head. Plus, I hit my shin on my bike. So I'll be walking with a limp because my shin hurt like hell.
Here in las vegas, they're not playing with cyclist/pedestrian accidents. I was told there were 2 more that night before mine. Both were fatalities.
My only question now is.....
Will their insurance pay for my repairs?
Sorry to hear that. Good for the other motorist who chased him.
You said he was looking to his left? Maybe I'm reading it wrong but it sounds like you were approaching him from the right i.e. riding on the left side of the road. Please correct me. Which side of the road were you riding on?
