This poor guy, riding his bike at Ogden and Main street this morning was hit by the white car in the photo. Stupid driver was on her phone, turned into the guy on his bike making the crossing legally. The construction worker was a millimeter from being hit. Used my motorcycle to block him from getting run over as he was complaining about neck and back injuries so couldn't move him.
Obviously a poor guy who is probably scraping by just had his world screwed up by this asshole who couldn't stop texting for five damn seconds. His bike is ruined crankcase is destroyed. Thankfully LV Marshall was driving by shortly after it happened and was able to put a rush on the ambulance. LV Fire was quick and professional, LVMPD officers were great as well during the investigation.
Gave my card to the motor officer to have the guy call me when he gets out of the hospital so I can get him a new bike while he is dealing with the insurance BS. Making giant assumptions but I assume the guy is a day laborer and illegal (did not speak English at all heavy Salvadorian accent) so he may be afraid to file insurance claims for injury but what the hell do I know?
We all see the idiots on their phones, we all have had close calls because of it.... Just a little unsettling to see the bad side of it happen in living color.
