I was struck by a car while crossing a non-signalled T intersection in San Bruno at about 5:30 pm on Dec 6. I was wearing a helmet with red reflectors on the back and silver reflectors on the side, wore a wide reflective glow in the dark belt on my torso. Entire bike frame was a reflector, not to mention the reflective tire rims and extra reflectors on the spokes. I had high lumen LED headlights and rear LED lights turned ON…. yet the driver failed to see me until after he made the left turn!
CAUTION: Many pedestrians & bicyclists involved in a car crash shared the same story – DRIVER WAS MAKING A LEFT TURN AT INTERSECTION!
The Guy or Doll Wasn.t Keeping Attention Glad He Stopped. Hope All Worked Out. If It Didn’t Thats What . Glad You Kept Your COOL.
