| My sister in law was run over on the Pellissippi bridge a few years ago, and the driver kept going. That was the lady's 2nd hit and run, so she's now in jail.
Stuff like this is disgusting. |

| Helpful that it was caught on video. But what is the point of the recording video camera?

| God, cyclists need to stay on the sidewalk!
A group of my friends were intentionally hit by some douche in a new Camaro (all muscle car drivers are douches, truth) on a bridge. They caught him on a GoPro camera and he was apprehended. He confessed to everything and was only charged with a misdemeanor. They're going to try to press charges for assault.
Last night we had a run in with another new impatient Camaro driver. | |

| I went through that intersection at 1:00 AM, about 30 minutes after it happened. Thought it was a road block, must have been 20 police cars. Then I saw the mangled bike in the middle of the road. | |

| Nope not yet that I am aware of..Somehow the traffic cam couldn't pick up the license plate on video without the flash of the red light camera for tickets. Sounds shady.

| Just don't ride on a busy road at night on a bike and no way to see you, and you probably won't get hit. | |

| It makes me nervous when I have to share the road with cyclists. I wish they would use the sidewalk. | |

Not a good idea to be riding around at midnight, but that's no reason to get run over from behind on a straight road.
