Bicyclist hit by car, but…
I saw a young woman on a bicycle hit by a car today. Within two minutes there was a policeman and a pair of paramedics attending to her. Less than 60 seconds after that there was a fire truck on the scene. It strikes me this, how unusual it is to live with such security. She may have been thinking many things but not one of them was whether her insurance would be adequate.
I am glad to say she was still ambulatory. She was able to walk the few steps to the ambulance (with the paramedics in attendance). Her friend took her bike (which didn’t fare so well) and the policeman had an earnest conversation with the driver, who looked even worse than the bicyclist. The litle crowd dispersed when the young woman was whisked away to the hospital. And you know what, she won’t come home to a bill bigger than the dent she left in the car.
