SANTA CRUZ -- A 40-year-old Santa Cruz man was killed Saturday morning when he was struck by a car while riding a bike on Highway 1, according to the California Highway Patrol.
About 11:17 a.m., the man, who police declined to name, was riding south in the bike lane with a bicycling group near Dimeo Lane, CHP Sgt. Grant Boles said.
At the same time, a 63-year-old Santa Cruz man was driving north on the highway in a 2013 Tesla Model S. Preliminary investigations revealed the driver veered into the bike line and struck the 40-year-old bicyclist, Boles said.

Really? Run down and killed by a Tesla.
To: artichokegrower
Was the smoke in the interior of the Tesla obscuring the driver’s vision?

People should not be allowed to own Teslas. Maybe Trayvons’ mother will make the case to Congress.

Of course it’s not a Zot. It’s about a cyclist being run over, on FR.

ZOTs can be pretti nasti. Usually when you least expect ‘em.
