This is transcribed directly from the Crash Report narrative
THE CYCLIST WAS WEST BOUND ON MS50 NEAR THE TRULOVE LOOP INTERSECTION. V1 WAS WEST BOUND ON MS50 APPROACHING THE CYCLIST FROM THE REAR. THE FRONT OF V1 COLLIDED WITH THE REAR OF THE BICYCLE. THE IMPACT THREW THE CYCLIST INTO THE AIR BEFORE LANDING ON THE HOOD OF V1 AND ONTO THE WINDSHIELD. V1 CONTINUED FOR A FEW FEET BEFORE COMING TO A STOP. THE CYCLIST WAS THEN THROWN TO THE ASPHALT WHEN V1 STOPPED. THE DRIVER OF V1 EXITED THE VEHICLE AND OBSERVED THE CYCLIST WHILE TALKING ON THE PHONE. D1 THEN REENTERED HER VEHICLE AND RAN THE CYCLIST OVER AGAIN BEFORE BEING FORCED FROM HER VEHICLE BY WITNESSES. V1 CAME TO FINAL REST FACING WEST IN THE WEST BOUND LANE ON MS 50 JUST METERS WEST OF THE TRULOVE LOOP INTERSECTION. THE CYCLIST CAME TO FINAL REST NEAR THE RIGHT FRONT TIRE OF V1.
This is what happened to My Little Darlin, it is PT day 11. The last thing I said to her the morning this happened was "good by, I love you". I have told her I love you countless times since. I do not know if she hears me, I do not know if she ever will.

Jan is one of the coolest ladies I know. Her energy and spirit pours out into Boardtown Bikes and makes it a fun destination for cyclists and friends! We are praying for her daily. PLEASE let us know if there is anything you need and we will hop to it.

Can't believe the "D1" added additional injury to injury. You're in my thoughts and prayers. And keep preaching the gospel of sharing the road. As an avid cyclist, I know how important this is.
ReplyDeleteWishing you and your family all the best. We hope Jan has a speedy and full recovery and that your story reaches the world to promote tolerance and to share the road.
