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!!!!!
The cyclist was very lucky! Drivers do not realize it only takes a second to look at the phone for something ro happen.And being 'older', it takes longer than a second to look at their phones. I had my phone set up before to read the texts to me however I rather turn my phone off while driving.
