I clicked on the video and stopped it when I first saw the bicycle, it was at 3 seconds, impact is 5 seconds.
A car going at 40 mph cannot avoid that collision. This is 100% the fault of the woman on the bicycle.
I hit a pedestrian about 20 years ago.I was coming off a red light, had only accelerated to about 30-35 mph, night time, misty rain, and all of a sudden some woman ran right in front of my car, from left to right, wearing dark clothing.
I attempted to avoid her by quickly jerking the steering wheel left and she bounced off my right front fender and went flying through the air. I thought she was dead.
Cops came, charged her with jaywalking, she went to the hospital with a broken hip. I visited her there, brought her flowers, daughter screamed at me that I was the man that almost killed her mother.
She sued my insurance company, they gave her $25,000.
I would have nightmares for a couple of months of her bouncing off the fender. |
