Alice Swanson, A 22yr.-old female cyclist, was killed yesterday at 8:15am, in Washington DC. When she was hit by a garbage truck at the intersection of 20th and Q Sts., NW.......
BY A GARBAGE TRUCK.
For those that don't live in(or near) Washington, DC, this is part of the business district.
While she was killed, near the end of rush hour, it still goes to the fact of driver responsibility.
It also goes to, how cyclists are responded to, the same way as, those on motorcycles and, mopeds. People don't look for them, even if they are aware of their existence.
