    It's always bad, but I can't imagine what my friend's wife went through.
    They were on their way home from Riverside late at night.
    That area of the freeway there at Main has horrible lighting, and he hit a trailer hitch laying in the lane.
    The impact bent his rim, which locked up in the forks and took him into the wall. He went down and bounced out into the #1 lane. His wife got her Sporty stopped, but before she could get to him she watched a pickup drive over him.

    Not the lady's fault... but she felt horrible about it.
    20 years, they rode everywhere rain or shine. They only owned one four-wheeler for when they needed to haul something.

    was on the 91 Sunday when a Cyclist got in a gnarly accident. I drove by that accident literally after it happened. There were like 5 or 6 vehicles involved. The dude was on the ground with people around him (his bike was destroyed) but he was moving his head. He wasn't moving anything else though. First responders weren't there yet. Prayed for him when I drove by.

    Driving down the 5 last year behind a motorcycle with a passenger, saw the rear wheel blow out at 75 MPH. The guy somehow kept it under control, when he slowed down enough he laid it down in the dirt. The pasenger had a scratched hand and leg that is it. Thought I was going to see a mess on the road.

    I pretty much hate seeing motorcycle accidents. They always seem to end pretty messed up.

    yeah it's never fun seeing a cyclist go down, most of the time that it does happen, it's because of another driver that's not fully aware of what's near them, I give cyclist there space, try to always respect that there is a life in play.

    A really great friend of mine passed away two years ago in inglewood, he was coming out of his shift, he was an EMT and served for the U.S. Navy at the time being he was going home on his Ninja, loud and bright bike, so yeah he was traveling southbound on praire blvd. and some lady decided to pull out of a 7 eleven and didn't take to notice he was on the road, she pulled out right in front of him, he never had a chance to react, he passed away on impact.

    after seeing accidents and having a close friend pass away, gives you more awareness for cyclist, It would be great if everyone on the road could be more aware and share the road.

    it's logical for her to beat herself up over it, in time she will forgive herself for whatever she feel's guilty for and keep the best memories, at the end that's all we have memories..
