So. It's not like it's a car going the wrong way down a street. I'm sure she was riding alongside parked cars regardless. Not down the middle of the street. Question is, how the heck didn't she see the truck coming, especially when she was facing it. Was the tow truck driver perhaps driving recklessly racing to an accident?
Then again, maybe she WAS riding in the middle of the street. Who knows. The article doesn’t add any of the details. Maybe she had turned to enter the block just as the tow truck was racing down the street on a call. Dopey news reporter should have added SOME details.
Maybe the tow truck driver didn’t like bicyclists. When I rode year-round, I followed the rules of the road and I hugged the curb and I guaranteed it that, at least once a ride, some driver would pass me by close enough that I could just about scrape the side of his car with my pedal or an idiot would suddenly stop and make a right hand turn without having signalled.
