A bicycle was hit yesterday around 2;30pm on Buena Vista, going north before El Camino drive, on Buena Vista.
It was obvious the driver was not paying attention to driving.
After she hit the bicyclist she turned left sharply and almost rolled her vehicle, hit the curb blew out the front left tire on her SUV and ended up on the medium and almost went into oncoming traffic that was going south.
This guy was lucky not to be killed!!!!!
With technology today you can do this without even looking at your phone. I drove home from Ocala last weekend, had an entire convo via text and didn't look at or touch my phone once. It's all done through a button on my steering wheel and via voice on either Android Auto or Apple Car Play.
