[SDCBC] Fwd: ghost bike

[Kathy Keehan]

I talked with the police today. There were witnesses who saw the bicyclist
ride up on the right side of the motorists waiting in the left turn pocket,
then cut across the front of them and went into the intersection against the
red arrow. I didn't find out from the police if the bicyclist had lights,
but I don't think it would have mattered - his bike light would have been
lost in the headlights of the traffic stopped in the left turn pocket. 
So sad, and so senseless.

And were there any witnesses, or just the word of the pickup driver against
a victim????
