Today I got hit by large pickup truck, while road riding. Truck blew past a stop sign hit me on the right side and all of sudden I'm laying on the pavement and my bike's far from me. Did not get seriously hurt, just a broken nose, twisted ankle and some road rash on my left elbow. Could've been fatal considering the size of the truck.
My Big Block's totaled from what I could tell. I'll get the bike back Monday and see the damage, the frame is bent beyond repair at the rear stay.
And I later figured out that while I was being taken to the hospital the police simply let the driver move along. I'm going back monday to get my bike and figure out what happened after I left, calling the PD was useless.
There's been 2 very serious accidents in Brazil last week, threes been many others before and it seems like no one cares.
