"I Just Hit Someone on a Bicycle"

By Phast Times News, August 2005 - Dallas

Donna Hill from Dallas has survived being hit while biking. “I was hit by an SUV at the intersection of Renner and North Central Exprwy at Friday morning (Aug 19). We had a green light our direction and were attempting to cross in the pedestrian crosswalk, coming out of the Spring Creek Nature Area. After hitting me and finally stopping, the driver got out of her car, on her cell phone, saying ‘I need to hang up now so I can call 911. I just hit someone on a bicycle.’ She admitted to the police that she didn't know what color the light was in the direction she was heading and that she had seen my husband cross in front of her but didn't look right to see if there was anyone else there. I am basically okay. I have some road rash, major bruises, and soreness, but no broken bones. I had my bike checked. The gears and brakes were messed up but the bike survived, amazingly, unscathed. Be careful out there and watch out for those ‘right turn on red.’”
