NORFOLK, Va. (WAVY) – The Virginia Department of Transportation is making immediate changes to increase safety on the pedestrian pathway across the Berkley Bridge after a woman riding her bike was hit by a vehicle there this past weekend.
The woman, Kelley Howell, just happened to be recording video when she was involved in the crash Saturday afternoon. The video she shared with WAVY.com shows her being knocked to the ground by a passing motorist on the pedestrian pathway.
VDOT confirmed a bridge tender was driving the vehicle involved in the accident. That driver has been placed on administrative leave.

similar to that idiot de. kid in a pickup that run me out of my lane today. stupid.
ReplyDeleteFrom watching the video the vehicle was as far over as they could get. It almost looked like the biker swerved into the vehicle. There are signs saying to watch for vdot vehicles. Since bikes have to obey the laws of the road how can a bike get away with using a pedestrian bridge?

How about this: When an approved motor vehicle uses the walk-bikeway, it comes to a stop to allow walkers and bikers to pass when they come from the other direction.

ReplyDeleteNope but I guess you did. That would explain your blindness to facts.
