This has been weighing heavy on my heart since Friday. She was doing everything right. I suppose most of us find some comfort in finding something that the rider could have done to prevent or minimize the accident but in this case there seems to be nothing she could have done. What really sickens me is the realization that most drivers in our community probably hear this and say "this is more evidence that bikes have no business being on the roads". I am laying my bet down that the driver is never charged with anything more serious than inattentive driving. Sad, one life snuffed out, multiple lives impacted for the worst (including the driver) and all for nothing. My heart goes out for Sarah's family.
There is now a ghost bike put up at the intersection where it happened.
