Per numerous media reports. Looks like a cyclist southbound on 21st was right-hooked by a concrete truck. This intersection is on my evening commute route. A traffic signal is being installed, but not yet operating.

Awful, sincere condolences to Shawn’s family, colleagues at State, friends. https://twitter.com/zachblackburn23/status/1549923698659950593?s=21&t=iYJTYqLRO35sOfOmoNwXZQ

I heard about Shawn from my fellow language instructor at the Foreign Service Institute. Shawn loved learning the Turkish language. I feel heartbroken for a fellow cyclist.

The article says:

It was not immediately clear whether the driver would face charges.

Let’s see:
A person riding a bicycle was proceeding straight through a green light when a driver in an enormous truck ran over and killed her. That’s not clear?

The descriptions all note that the truck driver had the green light. But SO DID THE BICYCLIST! She had a green light and was proceeding straight through it. That should be a maneuver someone can do without fear of being killed. Of course we all know that’s not currently true in the United States. But Vision Zero. (pfft)

There will be ghost bike installations and memorials for all three persons who were killed riding bikes recently. 6pm each on Saturday, Sunday and Monday.

Sorry for missing seeing this. There was an update yesterday morning; the ghost bike installation in Shaw was last night (Friday) to correspond with the family’s candlelight vigil.
