North Carolina driver targets cyclists

[Bike Chick]

Very good question, Roxy. I found another story in the local newspaper that had a little more info. According to this article, the driver of the vehicle was going in the opposite direction as the cyclists. Unfortunately, I can't find any kind of follow-up to the accident. Here is the link if anyone is interested in reading it: http://www2.independenttribune.com/c...-cycling-team/

There were three young women hit by an elderly man in our area a couple of months ago. He had also crossed the center line and we can't find out any information on what charges were filed, if any, and this was local news. Don't get me wrong, I am an animal lover, but if animals are hurt or abused, they cover it for days on the news but we didn't hear another word on this story after it happened.

That story was covered big time in Chicago because the three young women were from here, and one of them was killed.

Here's an update on the driver:
"The 86-year-old driver will appear in court June 10 for an improper lane usage citation. If found guilty, he'll be fined $75, police said."

You can find that quote in this article about the young woman that was killed:
