Bike Vs. Car 3

Posted by Matt Davis on Mon, Jul 14, 2008 at 3:31 PM

Would you lot just CALM DOWN OUT THERE? From Schmautz:

I have had a few calls about a bike/ car collision at Southeast 50th and Lincoln. The Major Crash Team has been called out and will be conducting an investigation. The bicyclist was been transported to OHSU with what are now being described life threatening injuries. I am heading over to the scene to get an update. I will have more in a little while.

Sounds like Portland has a case of the Monday's.

Seriously though, I know it's fucking hot but all this douchebaggery is unnecessary. Hope the dudes alright. Or chick if thats the case.

From kgw:
" A bicyclist suffered serious injuries after colliding with a truck in southeast Portland Monday afternoon, police said. The collision occurred at Southeast 50th and Lincoln Street. According to police, the cyclist ran a red light at the bottom of the hill and then struck the side of a truck car traveling through the intersection under a green light. The bicyclist was not wearing a helmet, according to the report. The cyclist was transported to Oregon Health & Science University Hospital but the cyclist's injuries were not described as life-threatening."

We don't need better law enforcement on cyclists just to catch the small minority of idiots. We can just leave it to natural selection...

That is a terrible thing to say about someone you don't know.
