I went for a nature walk today along the river ….as I was coming to the end of where I was going … you start to see the highway ..a major BUSY highway ….. .I saw that all the cars slowing down and finally all stopped ….. well there was a car accident ….
not 2 cars or 3 or 4 but a man walking UP the highway with a bicycle crossing the highway ..I came up to it after it happened …heres some photos that I got from a bridge .. the first one I was still on the path and got a close up of where he went thru the windshield .. the rest are on a bridge crossing the highway ..you can see where the red car skidded and the bike on the other side of the medium …
I had to crawl up a fence and bushes to get the close up of the car lol
the guy on the bike is in the hospital with a broken leg ..hes lucky thats all hes got !!

Hi Lu,
As a uy who drives all day, this sort of thing happens almost every couple of days.
Well caught images. Did you manage to get shots off to the local newspaper??

hi Lens… no I didnt .. threr were news /TV guys there so I didnt bother ..its all over the radio about what a stupid move it was lol
Lensman2008, about 1 month ago
I caught some pics of a nearby pub on fire last August. I emailed some shots off to the local newspaper, but they intimated that, unless the fire threatened human life, they weren’t interested because they didn’t consider it ‘newsworthy’. Can you believe that???

There is certainly a lesson to be learned here, that’s for sure. But, some people will never learn. Thank God above that these people are still alive. Great shots Lucindawind!
