This happened to a woman like 2 mins from where I live(Dublin), 50 years old cycling to work a big Hannay truck(the ones that carry the industrial size recycling skips) turned onto her at the intersection. As far as I know she was stopped at the lights infront of the truck and he pulled off and just crushed straight over her. I was going by on the bus(second floor unfortunatly) and saw her, the bike was like a banana and she was worse. This is a truck route for the company and I have actually seen bigger trucks of theirs not even bothering to look up other than to see the green light, some havent even indicated.
I now mount the path on my way back from school turning this corner, the only place I ever do.
Gruesome!
I once saw a man fall from scaffolding, but it couldnt have been as bad as that.
Feel well bad about the woman riding peacefully along, (not like us reckless goons) and getting run over like that. How horrible, I almost got K.O'd on a dual carriage way like that by one of those enormous freight trucks. - it was daytime too, every vehicle was making space, then that behemoth of a truck almost sucks me into its wheels. Really shook me up, but I kept telling myself truck drivers are skilled and responsible, he saw me and assessed there was enough space. In reality I know that it almost brushed my elbow, and if it had done I wouldve fell right under its many many wheels.
