A bizarre and tragic tale
I can't get this out of my mind. This comes from a story in our local weekly paper.
Picture an overpass with a two lane highway passing over a four lane highway below. A middle age man on a motorcycle traveling on the upper highway for some reason hit the wall of the bridge. He was thrown off the cycle and over the wall---apparently as he fell he was hit by a car on the highway below. From the story it said the driver of the car was injured--which leads me to suspect the cyclist may have gone through the windshield of the car. The cyclist was killed.
Can you imagine the driver of that car, seeing a body falling in front of him and not being able to do a damned thing to avoid it---my heart goes out to the family of the cyclist and to the driver of that car who will have to live with that image for the rest of his life---may God bring healing to him.
