[SDCBC] Why you should look both ways.................

[Jon Perkins]

John,

That is correct about Camino Del Sur, I often do a convoluted U turn there to get back onto the bike lane.  However in this case, after looking at a map - I realized the street was Carmel Valley Road - also I think the truck was east bound on 56 turned right then was South Bound.

My humble apologies for the mix up.

        Thanks for posting, Jon. The two-way bike path runs to the right of two right-turn-only lanes, despite SDCBC's pleas that it be engineered, albeit at higher cost, to avoid precisely this scenario. My condolences to the victim's family.

          All,

          This accident took place on the 56 bike trail this morning 7-1-08 at the SB 56 off ramp at ?Camino Del Sur?.   Just had enough time to pull out my camera and snap a shot after the ambulance hauled the rider away.  The rider in the picture is in the hospital and not expected to survive.
