horrible
Truly horrible. I heard about it on the CCM list earlier but as of yet no details as to what happened or where the truck hit her (Front/back/side/tractor/trailer/etc) and which way each were traveling.
Trucks have always given me pause -whether on a bicycle, motorcycle, or even in a car. Don't get near them if you can help it. i never like being around the trailer wheels at highway speeds and also really don't like being near them in city traffic The last place I want to be is between a truck and parked traffic. I'll just wait behind it thank you...
This from the Trib:
A woman on a bicycle was hit and killed by a truck in the Fuller Park neighborhood on the South Side, authorities said.
The semi-trailer truck fled after striking the woman around 1:40 p.m., Police News Affairs Officer Daniel O’Brien said.
The woman was dead the scene in the 300 block of West 47th Street, O'Brien said.
The Cook County Medical Examiner’s office was notified of the death, but no further information was immediately available. Check back for details.

Disgusting!
I cannot express my anger without some ..some......crap - I want them to catch the &* %$^!! Put him/her away and make him suffer!
That area sucks for driving, and I confess I am way to scared to bike that way. It's rough enough on the east end of 47th.
We need a revolution, and it will need to be televised.
I know this is not original nor articulate - I know someone else will be.

Thank you!

I reached out to the trib to ask for further coverage/info and got a positive response-- will post if I receive anything.
This is what I got:
Fatality Tracker: Semi-trailer truck driver kills bicyclist in Full...
It's a hit-and-run crash. The fourth fatal bike crash this year. The first fatal hit-and-run bike crash this year.
Most of the South is unbikeable.
Not a good way to ride!
