I just got a major case of road rash crossing Rt9 & Oak St. Natick, MA

I had the green light and was crossing a major intersection. A distracted young lady was talking, drinking coffee and creeping up on the red light as I was crossing the west bound lane.

I grapped my brakes and dumped my bike vs bouncing off her car. I got a nasty case of road rash and some good bruises.

The driver did stop to ask me if I was all right. I was madder than a hornet, and to her to #@&*ing pay attention.

I road off did not feel anything until a few hrs later.

Hope you feel better and glad nothing is broken. I've seemed to notice that my problem drivers are old people and young women.
