Surprised this doesn't happen daily with how clueless and egotistical bicyclists are e or regular.
I see it everyday, these E bikers dont folllow the rules, dont wear helmets or any safety orange vests, which should be mandatory by law!!!!
I feel so much safer with a stripe of paint protecting me.
yeah ok its California you regulate everything
With less old folks dying and more young people getting drivers licenses has led to more people on the road and more accidents because of it. Evacuate the entire state and redo the roadways then let those lunatics back in and wait until they start screwing up again.
If you give yourself extra time everyday you don't have to do anything foolish.
Is the police too lazy to enforce and stay at the donut store!
No idea who fault it is in this situation. But i like to say i see so many people, biker, ebiker cross the road like they own it. Never look at the on coming traffic, and ignore traffic rules
Protected bike lanes everywhere
E-bikes don’t give a flock.
E-bikes are a menace to society. Newscum should make 'em illegal.
grew up there 60's early 70's very safe then.
You can't call it accident if the whole road infrastructure is designed around cars. And if 20-30 people die every year on this intersection it should be closed and redesigned right now. Not by 2040.
Great to see Faux Newz using its oil industry money to change the narrative of this story from a bicycle rider in a bicycle lane getting run over by a careless driver to an evil e-bike going berserk and killing its rider by intentionally crashing into a dump truck….
The issue with bike lanes is that they do not changes the right of ways in an intersection. Here is how it actually works:
1- peace officer instructions.
2- signals (lights or panels)
3- vehicle turning RIGHT.
4- vehicle going straight.
5- vehicle turning LEFT.
The issue is that bike lanes passing on the right of vehicles DO NOT HAVE THE RIGHT OF WAY. But they think they do. Disregarding the fact that they are in the biggest blind angle.
It's almost as if traffic laws exist for a reason, huh.
The idea is to separate cars and bikes . China learned this 30 years ago. Why do we keep putting them together.
Rest in peace. Sometimes you can't cheat the dump truck
I witness bikes and people walking not giving a hoot about vehicles while they cross the street. The people walking don't even turn their heads and walk against a cross walk light that shows the big red hand to not cross and they do anyways. I've also seen other cars pull into traffic like they waited for an oncoming car to pull out in front of. The ebikes now make a 3rd obstacle. It's all 3. All are to blame.
Pro Tip 2. The world is over crowded. These EBikes plus no helmets plus cellphones while driving just might be the solution 🤔
WHERE IS ALL THE BIKING INFERSTRUCTURE???
That intersection needs a roundabout!!!
Bravo 👏 !!!!!!!@ this is warning to other idiots on e bikes who think the streets rules doesn't obey to them
who won?
RIP
Unfortunate for the driver to have this in his conscious,
I don't believe Jesse James or Harry Callahan would have enough nerve to get on a E bike around Tampa.
Should be allowed red light ticket
e bikers are the worst! think they own the road! dont obey traffic rules! and this is what you get!
Is the truck OK?
Darwin got another one!
