Absolutely brilliant thinking on part of the bus-driver and the 2nd car behind for boxing in the guy who tried to flee the scene. Cyclist appears to be okay (walking, talking) but the bike! He's really lucky.

I don't know that I would ride on a no-shoulder heavy traffic road like that, but way to go bus driver and car that followed! The cyclist is lucky to have walked away from that. Yikes!

It's obviously a bridge or overpass of some kind. Without Complete Streets, in many parts of the country, there are no bike-friendly ways to cross rivers, freeways or railroads. You have to either use those overpasses or stay home.

LAB reports the driver is going to be charged, among other things, with violating Pennsylvania's new four-foot passing law. (Although since it appeared the car hit the bike full-on, this really isn't the situation the law was intended for.) Still, yay! and +1 thank goodness the rider walked away.

Totally agree.
Glad to see both the bus driver and the driver of the other car make sure the hit and run driver couldn't go anywhere. Also very glad to see the cyclist was able to walk away.

Very quick thinking on the bus driver's part. Glad the driver is going to be charged.
