why would a bike be in the left lane of us 13?
ReplyDeleteMaybe the person on the bike was making a left turn on Herring Run Road. Just a guess.
ReplyDelete48 years old is to old to be playing on a bicycle in the street.
ReplyDeletethat would be called a left turn lane, not a left lane. Or it should be.
ReplyDeleteI read it again, the car was in the left lane, the cars passenger side mirror hit the bike which was riding in the roadway. Seems to me the bike should not have been that far over in the roadway that he could hit a car in the left lane.
ReplyDeleteWhy was he on the bike at 7:24 pm? It's dark by then.
