Don't forget to bring ID!

This is very sad, for a number of reasons:

A woman was struck and killed by a tractor-trailer while jogging in DC on on Saturday. She had no identification on her, so it took a while for the police to identify her.

This has me thinking that when I go out for long walks, I bring my cell phone, which could be used to identify me, but I don't carry my drivers license or other ID card. I have a Road ID for when I'm riding my bike, but I think I'll get a second one for taking walks. www.roadid.com

I just talked to my sister. The "unidentified" jogger was my sister's manager at work. She said it took some time for the identification to be made, and of course the office is just in shock......

I'm so sorry, withm.

What a tragic event for your sister and her coworkers and for the woman's family.

oh, no...that is truly tragic! Withm- our thoughts are with your sister and her coworkers. So terribly sad... I'm heartbroken for them all. Also with the other pedestrian fatality on that day.


My Road ID never comes off. I'm always aware of the "what if." I don't want my family to wonder if I don't come back from a workout (or any other activity).
