Coming home from my Mother's home tonite, we were stopped at the traffic light at 20th East and 33rd South, heading north on 20th. As the light turned green for us we watched as some idiot on his five-speed cruiser came speeding down 33rd, and ran the light. This was a good three or four seconds after the light had changed.
He hadn't tried to slow down. He wasn't wearing a helmet. He was wearing a straw hat, however. He got through the intersection okay, but he must have hit something 'cause he biffed like a rag doll about ten feet later. He went down face first and wasn't moving as far as we could see. Several cars ahead of us pulled over to assist him, and I don't know what happened, but I'm sure he's hurtin'.
So people:
- Always wear a helmet
- Obey the traffic laws
- Don't over ride your abilities
- Always wear a helmet!
