Can I Get a Witness?
A livery car hit a biker last Friday and lots of people saw it, but the dude can’t find any witnesses. Were you there? Are you the mustached man?
Today, Friday March 13, 2009 at approx. 1:20pm I was riding with traffic on Bedford Ave, approaching the intersection of Lorimer St. I was hit by a silver Chrysler sedan (who was a car service car) turning right on to Lorimer. I was wearing a silver windbreaker, riding a black + red track bike with white rims (yes, with a front brake and yes, I was wearing a helmet).
I counted at 5 to 10 people in the area who I believe saw the accident take place. However, no one would come forward as a witness. One mustached fellow (Thank you, whoever you may be) took pictures, but I didn’t get a chance to get his name before leaving in the ambulance. Sadly, he did not arrive until moments after the accident happened.
Here’s the Craigslist ad: Hit by Car in Williamsburg. If you were there, help this guy out!
I feel for you. I didn’t see the incident. As commentary, as a fellow commuter down Bedford Ave, I think the kind of people who we would like to be more considerate to cyclists are not the kind of people who Read Free Williamsburg. I think the more bike lanes the better, and more Stop signs at junctions are necessary.
The link to craigslist is expired. My friend saw this accident.
