Clothing?
A year ago, a rear-end crash happened just behind me as I was riding down the bike path. I stayed at the scene until the PD showed up, then was told to leave, as I hadn't actually seen any of the vehicles (they were behind me).
As far as I can tell, in my case, there were 3 vehicles plus me.
Me: Ahead, marked bike lane.
Lead Car: slowed down to make a right turn behind me (I never saw it again).
#2 Car, slowed down to allow the lead car to turn.
#3 Car, didn't stop in time. CRASH!!!
Fortunately no serious injuries, but as everyone was still moving, I got onto the sidewalk as quickly as possible.
If only I had a rear camera working!!!
