Per one source, allegedly divorced two weeks prior to the accident. Was staying with a friend who lived not far from the scene of the incident. Reportedly some analysis indicates she was toting the bicycle under the left arm, possibly due to problem with the bicycle.
Friends and family are pursuing legal action. They are harshly criticizing local law enforcement’s characterization of Elaine Herzberg as a homeless bag lady.
Interesting narrative initially released to the press with many inaccuracies subsequently coming to light.
Very interesting and it doesn’t surprise me. We are so often lied to by our media outlets. Whether it was an unfortunate woman dealing with a broken bike on top of other crushing stress in her life or a person suffering from addiction and not fully aware of her surroundings, neither deserved to be run down in the street by technology that is not ready to be tested on the public. I hope the friends and family will find justice for her unnecessary death. It will, also, serve to keep the manufacturer from sweeping it under the proverbial rug, which they will do if they can grease enough palms.
