MADISON, Wis. — A delivery truck ran over a cyclist's head, leaving him only with a concussion and a mangled helmet.
Ryan Lipscomb, 26, was shaken up, especially after he saw the condition of his helmet.
"I didn't see it coming, but I sure felt it roll over my head," he said. "It feels really strange to have a truck run over your head."
Lipscomb, a graduate student in medical physics at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, was riding swiftly down a bike path in Madison Friday afternoon. As he approached an intersection where he said he had a green light, he noticed the truck preparing to make a right turn in front of him.
The truck wasn't going to stop, Lipscomb said, so he slammed on his brakes, flipping his bike and landing in the street.
A moment later the truck rolled over his head — and kept going.
His black Giro helmet was flattened, tread marks visible on the cracked frame.

His black Giro helmet was flattened,.. So while his helmet was flattened, his head remained intact. Hmmm...

"Bullseye, 10 points!" Ten points. What's that, your I.Q.? Sounds a little high.

"It feels really strange to have a truck run over your head." I've heard it feels pretty good.

You know, I think most people affiliated with the University of Wisconsin at Madison could have a truck run over their head without injury.

Yeah, you’d think he’d notice a guy with a big wedge of cheese on his head pedaling furiously next to him.

25 years ago at 3 in the morning I did the same thing that the truck did. Turn right on a red. A bike crossing at the sidewalk t-boned the side of my car folded his bike in three pieces, took off my mirror and he ended on the ground over the top of the car. The police showed up and he was ticketed as he did not have right of way off the sidewalk. If he had been in the bike lane different story. Who got the citation here???
