Distracted Barbie talking & drinking coffee& anticipating green light-MA

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.

That's terrible!!! I hope you recover okay.

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

Greetings,

I'm either in denial or psycho, I played ice hockey last nite, today I starting feeling a few tinges from my close encounter. Oh well, I am healing up quickly.
