SWing'R Posted May 29, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 29, 2012 (edited) Aren't these different accidents?It sounds like there were two different things reported, and somethingcompletely different when the arrived??I see the news channels report wrong or inaccurate stuff all the time in theirFB feeds and text alerts just because they want to be the one to break thestory first so they release information quickly then correct it later as theyget more details.EDIT: you know these do look like two different things now that I think about it,cause I got the text just before 11pm, then the other story says 2am. If that's thecase then what happened in the 11:00 incident?? Edited May 29, 2012 by SWing'R Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did they release a name for the Karl Rd one because I havea good friend that lives near there and works at that YMCA and rides to workall the time. Just tried calling him, didn't get an answer. Please don't let it be him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DTM Brian Posted May 30, 2012 Report Share Posted May 30, 2012 Every day I hear of fatal bike accident. Sometimes it makes me wonder if it is worth riding on public roads. Cars and bikes do not mix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
