There were three fatal bicycle collisions with motor vehicle in Illinois THIS WEEK. One in Alexander County, one in Des Plaines and this one in Waukegan. Of those three, two were hit-and-runs and the third involved a driver "clipping" the bicyclist when she passed the cyclist in her car. 

Horrifying. Thoughts and prayers to all those affected by these senseless deaths. Rest In Peace.

Not a hit and run, but there was also the Metra fatality involving a cyclist at a grade crossing in Riverside earlier this week. A bad week all around...
