Accident


Washington, DC--I got to the corner of 11th and U Streets NW this morning while giving Lupe her morning walk to find this scene. A biker had been struck by a truck and taken to the hospital.

It's a scene that makes one pause as one's heart lurches.

How very sad. Hope the biker and driver are OK.

Oh, my....too frequent of a scene in big cities, I'm afraid.

I see way too often bicyclists and motorcyclists hit by cars. Tragic.
I hope the bicyclist is fine and recovers.

I hate those kinds of stories. I sure hope the person is okay.

looks scary indeed, as the bike seems to have suffered a strong hit. hope the person will get up on the feet again.

tsk, tsk, what a sad timing.
we had lots of vehicular accidents here also, unfortunately, drivers can be so negligent at times.
