11 cyclists injured and 2 in critical.
This is a ride I go on every Wednesday night. This past Wednesday I decided not to go and couldn’t believe the news I heard as soon as I woke up the following morning. Cyclists were hit by a drunk driver who was also distracted on her phone. this just goes to show DONT DRINK AND DRIVE. DONT TEXT AND DRIVE.
This is such an unfortunate situation ESPECIALLY because the LAPD has stated that the primary collision factor was “Pedestrians in the Roadway.” This driver actually knocked over cyclists who were stalling and waiting for people to catch up. They were on or by the sidewalk, clearly, because she swerved towards them. There is no justification on her side. The court date will be next month and I plan to be there and keep the update going. Be safe RIDERZ
