Tasha Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 (edited) Wow crazy a friend of mine sent me this link and told me about it. It brings around this time when I was also hit by one of these careless drivers and taken to the hospital. ----- Two cyclists were taken to hospital and several others injured after a car drove into a pack of 20 riders in North Saanich. About 20 cyclists from a Victoria-area riding club were traveling west on Lands End Road around 10:45 a.m. on Saturday when a passing car veered into them after being hit by a second car turning onto the road. Several riders hit the ground. Sidney/North Saanich RCMP and B.C. Ambulance crews were alerted and arrived shortly after the crash. Two of the cyclists were taken to hospital and later released and several others suffered minor injuries. The drivers were unharmed. Both vehicles were damaged along with many of the bikes. Sidney North Saanich RCMP are investigating what led to the collision. Edited March 10, 2009 by Tasha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marcina Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 A few years ago, a careless driver texting on her cellphone ran over and killed a woman riding her bike in Chilliwack. It happened right by my apartment. It was very shocking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
