Shuddering here when I see that picture, as it's too close for me currently...just 5 weeks ago, I had the same horrific experience... even though it was 2 of us being hit and thrown in the air by a speeding, distracted (turning around and reaching into the back seat to play with her 2yo nephew!) driver, who already had a wretched record of traffic infractions and criminal cases, showing her disregard for the safety of anyone else on the road.
I agree that driver education and enforcement have to be prioritized. This senseless tragedy didn't have to happen...just heartbreaking.

I am so angry and upset. This is disturbing. More of these articles need to be posted (with pictures) so that people can fully see what the consequences are if drivers don't pay attention on the road or decide to take it out on cyclists.
