This happened on the road I live on, a couple of miles from my house.
I don't know the riders but the followup in the morning paper says the guy on the MB is in "fair condition".
This is a poorly lit section of road. He was going the wrong way against the traffic flow, w/out lights and wearing dark clothing and no helmet. Police estimate he was doing 30+ when he smacked into the bicyclist. The guy on the bicycle was in the bike lane, riding with traffic and had a light.
I have a friend on the force and he told me this evening his chief wants to make the fact that it was a motorized bike a big deal, as the story says:
"Police are investigating all factors that contributed to the crash."
I wish people would use their head for something other than to wrap bandages on.
