A 21-year-old woman, who was injured in an accident with a trolley car on her way to class, has filed a lawsuit against Azusa Pacific University, as well as the City of Azusa.

Julie Farris was injured in February 2008 while she was riding her bicycle. She was riding on the opposite side of the street, and towards oncoming traffic because of pedestrian crowds and the absence of a sidewalk. Farris was caught between an Azusa Pacific University trolley and some vehicles. The trolley stuck her, leaving her with severe injuries. According to the Monterey Herald, Farris who had aspirations of becoming a graphic designer had to spend 7 months in the hospital, out of which she spent two months in a coma. She had to undergo brain surgeries, as well as injuries to her nervous system. As a result of the accident, she has been left with possibly permanent brain damage.

According to the lawsuit, none of these injuries would have occurred if the area where Farris was riding her bike, near the Azusa Pacific University campus had been built properly. The city and school were negligent in their failure to provide safety measures for both pedestrians as well as bicycle riders. There is no crosswalk, and both the street and campus lack parking space and traffic signals. With the heavy traffic volume comprised of APU students, the possibilities for a serious accident were huge.

Azusa City officials have called the bicycle accident “tragic and unfortunate” but insist that Farris was operating the bicycle in an unsafe manner, and street conditions were actually quite safe. In the past, city officials say, they had been considering broadening pedestrian and bicycle areas near the spot where the trolley car struck Farris.

Farris’s medical expenses over the past year have totaled $1 million. With brain damage, the young lady may also not be in a position to pursue her dreams of becoming a graphic designer. She’s claiming compensation for her medical expenses as well as damages for lost future wages and emotional suffering.

What the city has failed to mention is that Farris was forced to ride on the opposite side of the street because of heavy pedestrian traffic that day. If the city and the university had fulfilled their duty of providing a sidewalk and a safe area for students, it is highly unlikely that the young lady would have been forced to operate her bicycle in an unsafe manner.

City authorities have a duty to make sure that roads are safe for motorists, pedestrians and bicycle riders. Very often, road plans are drawn up taking into consideration the safety and convenience of motorists. Any safety enhancements that have to be made are also usually made taking motorists into account. Many cities still don’t recognize the vulnerability pedestrians and bike riders face, and the need for special safety precautions for them. It shouldn’t have to take a bicycle accident that leaves a woman with serious injuries, for city authorities to act.

A woman who hit a 42-year-old bicyclist in Richmond, leaving her to suffer another accident with another car a few minutes later, has turned herself into police, according to the San Francisco Chronicle.

Tiffany Powell slammed her car into a bicycle on Saturday in Richmond, throwing the rider Laura Casey off the bike, and onto the road. An injured Casey reportedly screamed for help, but Powell drove on. A few minutes later, while Casey was still lying on the ground, another car came up on the scene, and hit the injured bicyclist again, dragging the woman more than 25 feet. Casey died of injuries sustained in the accident. The accident took place at around 6 pm, and Powel went home and then returned to a police station at about 10:30 pm to turn herself in. According to her, she was aware that she had hit a bicycle, but wasn’t aware that she had hit a bicyclist. We don’t know if anybody asked her how she could possibly have hit a bicycle in the middle of the road, if there hadn’t been a person riding, unless she thinks bicycles can run on their own. As it turns out, there might have been more than poor visibility to blame for Powell’s inability to see Casey - she was driving with a suspended license. Powell has been booked on vehicular manslaughter, hit and run, and driving with a suspended license.

Laura Casey died a tragic death, hit by two cars, and by all accounts she was following all the rules of the road. Her family has had a horrible end to the year, and our hearts go out to them.

Bicycle accidents like this are the reason why many continue to consider cycling a dangerous activity, and simply not worth the savings on gas, or the benefits to the environment. Throughout the county, there has been an increase in the number of people who have taken to cycling to get to and from work, as well as to other places in their daily lives. These people do the best they can to protect their safety on the streets. They stick to assigned lanes, wear helmets, and most of them follow the rules of responsible driving to avoid the possibility of accidents. However, all too often they are subject to aggressive driving by motorists who seem not to be aware that these people have as much right to use our streets as people who drive cars. Besides pedestrians, bicyclists are the most vulnerable people on our streets and it’s sad to see that bicycle safety still continues to elude us in California, a bicyclist’s paradise.

For a motorist to knock a cyclist off her bike, and then leave her to battle injuries while she hotfoots it out of the scene of the accident, and then to arrive at the police station flanked by her family and family pastor reeks of cold-hearted callousness as far as the bicyclist was concerned. If Powell had done the legally and morally right thing, and stopped her car to offer the injured Casey some help, the woman would probably not have suffered the second fatal accident, and would most likely have been alive. Casey’s family should look into hiring an expert California bicycle accident attorney to look after their interests in this tragic situation.

A motorist who seriously injured two bicyclists in a road rage related bicycle accident in Los Angeles will soon stand trial in the case. Christopher Thompson, a physician, will face one felony count of reckless driving causing injury and two felony counts of battery with serious injury, in the accident that took place in July, the Los Angeles Times reports.

The incident enraged the bicycling community in Los Angeles at the time. Thompson was driving down a residential street in the city when he noticed two bicyclists riding side-by-side in front of him. He honked, and the two made way for him. As he passed, Thompson yelled at them to ride single file. At this, one of the bicyclists shouted an expletive, and this apparently sent the doctor over the edge. He turned and slammed on his brakes, with the result that both bicyclists crashed into his car. The two, Ron Peterson and Christian Stoehr were sent flying from their bicycles, one of them falling to the pavement and the other flying through the rear window of the doctor’s car. Both were seriously injured.

Peterson suffered a broken nose and teeth, and cuts on his face including his nose and upper lip. Stoehr suffered a separated shoulder, requiring surgery that continues to bother him with consistent soreness. That it was a road rage incident was clear right at the scene of the accident, when Thompson told police officers who arrived at the scene of the bicycle accident that he had deliberately stopped his car in front of the cyclists “to teach them a lesson.” He also complained to the officers that bicyclists were always using the street, and this seems to have infuriated him, all culminating in this incident. The police officer’s testimony seems to have been one of the factors that led to the judge to order that Thompson stand trial.

Altercations with bicyclists seem to be have been a feature of Thompson’s life. He also faces a misdemeanor reckless driving charge stemming from an injury caused to another bicyclist in another accident. Two other cyclists also came forward to give their testimony, in an attempt to make sure that Thompson would face trial.

Thompson, through his lawyer, has tried to downplay the “road rage” factor insisting that it had been overplayed. If convicted, Thompson is looking at four to five years in a state prison.

Road rage may be defined as the aggressive use of a vehicle to cause harm to another motorist, pedestrian or bicyclist. That road rage was the factor at play here seems to be accepted, with Thompson’s remarks after the accident proving this. Unfortunately, it’s not hard to find people like Thompson who seem to think that streets are made only for motorists, and should be kept clear of pesky bicyclists. There is a lack of acceptance of the fact that bicyclists deserve to be on the same street with motorists that’s behind many road rage incidents involving motorists and bicyclists.

For an educated and informed man like Thompson to so willingly and coldly place the lives of two bicyclists at risk because he didn’t want them on his street is appalling. Thompson deserves the harshest punishment. At the least it should send a signal that ignoring a bicyclist’s rights won’t be tolerated.

The effects of the move to bring down pollution and crowding levels in San Francisco by encouraging more people to bike or walk around are being felt in the increasing number of pedestrian and bicycle accidents on its roads. According to the San Francisco Chronicle, the city witnessed a dramatic spike in the rates of pedestrian and bicycle accident related injuries in 2007. The number of people dying in traffic accidents in the city also increased by a whopping 50 percent, says a new report by the California Highway Patrol.

At least 32 people died in pedestrian accidents last year, which is an increase of nearly 50 percent from the year before. At least 800 pedestrians were injured. A total of 451 bicyclists were injured in San Francisco over the same period of time, which is an increase of 31 percent over the previous year. There was one fatal bicycle accident. The number of people killed in traffic accidents overall last year was 45, which was again an increase of 50 percent from the previous year.

City officials have hastened to add that these increases have little to do with dangerous roads. Instead, they are simply the result of a larger number of bicyclists and pedestrians on the streets of the city than last year. City Hall executives have launched a move to get more people walking and biking to reduce congestion levels on the streets, and clear the smog around town. Officials insist that the solution to these alarming accident rate increases is not to push pedestrians and bicyclists back into their cars and off the streets, but to make road conditions safer for them. This can be done a number of ways, from re-engineering the roads to create separate areas for bicyclists and pedestrians, to educating people about the rights of these groups of people to share the streets with motorists.

Bicycling and walking proponents complain that the need is to educate the motorists who ignore stop lights, make rash turns, and generally fail to obey traffic laws, making things difficult for the average Joe on his bicycle. They insist that stricter enforcement should be in place for motorists, and crosswalks should be made more visible. Also, there should be separate lanes for bikers and walkers, a long-pending move that has been languishing since 2006.

Pedestrian accidents are the most deadly of all collisions, and victims of these accidents make up half of the city’s traffic accident-related fatalities. In some areas however, that have been popular with red light jumpers, the injury rates for pedestrians have come down owing to the installation of enforcement cameras. There were just 388 accidents related to red light jumping this year, down by half from ten years ago.

A couple of days back, our Orange County truck accident lawyers blog carried a report on Carrie Busse, the 46-year-old Seal Beach mother, who was killed in a truck accident when she was riding her bicycle with her autistic son. On Tuesday, the truck driver who was believed to have been drunk while driving prior to the accident, entered a not guilty plea to charges of killing Busse under the influence of alcohol, and drugs.

43-year-old Alex Trujillo, the Los Angeles Times reports, had alcohol as well as prescription drugs in his system when he swerved his truck off a road, and slammed into Carrie Busse, and her son who were bicycling on the sidewalk. The impact of the bicycle accident was strong enough to throw Busse off her bicycle and onto the ground, several feet away from the point of impact. She died at the scene of the truck accident from blunt force trauma to the head. Her son, Sam, who suffers from autism, suffered minor injuries in the accident.

After the accident, Trujillo, it was found, had a blood alcohol level of .13, higher than the .08 permissible limit. This man was no stranger to the perils of drunk driving. He had a prior drunk driving conviction back in 2002. Then, his rehabilitation included attending drunk driving awareness classes, as well as a Mothers Against Drunk Driving meeting to experience the consequences of drunk driving, and the loss it causes to entire families.

None of this seems to have had the slightest effect on Trujillo. On October 12th, he was back on the road, his body pumped with alcohol and prescription drugs. This time, it’s no mere road accident that Trujillo is dealing with. One person is dead, and there’s another young boy, in a delicate state of health, who has been left motherless by his insane actions. Trujillo has been charged with, among other charges, vehicular manslaughter while intoxicated. This time, we hope that punishment is stricter than it was the last time around.

There’s little doubt that Trujillo will be held responsible for the death of Carrie Busse in court. What is also obvious is that her death has left a chasm in the lives of her family, especially her 14-year-old special needs son, Sam. Carrie was his primary care giver, a job that she seems to have excelled at. Sam’s flowering under her care has been reported on by many of her friends after the tragic bicycle accident. It’s obvious that this boy will need professional care in his mother’s absence. Else, years of progress that Carrie made with her son could be set back.

The Busse family must consult with an Orange County truck accident lawyer to explore their legal options as soon as possible.

Sam Busse’s 14-year-old world got a whole lot darker on Sunday when his mother was killed in a bicycle accident in Seal Beach, Orange County as she was riding her bicycle.

The Orange County Register reports that Cathy Busse and her autistic son Sam were riding their bicycles, when a Ford truck crashed into them at about 5 pm on Lampson Avenue. Busse was taken to the hospital, and was listed as being in critical condition. By Tuesday, brain activity had ceased, and the brave 46-year-old woman whose friends called her a “warrior mother” because of her unflinching devotion to her special-needs son, died. Her son survived with minor injuries.

The driver of the Ford truck, Alex Trujillo was treated for injuries sustained in the drunk driving accident, and underwent surgery for his injuries. He was arrested as soon as he was discharged from the hospital. Trujillo is now facing charges of driving under the influence of alcohol, and murder. Bail has been set at $1 million.

It’s unfortunate enough when children lose a parent, but as a child with autism, Sam will feel his mother’s absence more acutely than a non-autistic child.

Our hearts go out to the Busse family at this time, especially Sam Busse, who was a witness to his mother’s accident. Like hundreds of thousand of autistic children in our country, his main caregiver was his mother. Autistic children are hard to get “close” to. Social withdrawal and an inability to express affection is just one of the condition’s many symptoms.

Friends of Carrie Busse say that the mother and son duo were inseparable, spending time together playing sports and holidaying. Sam’s love for his mother was so evident, a friend of Carrie tells the OC Register. We wonder how many years of work it took for Carrie Busse to get to the stage where her son could actually be showing affection. It’s evident that Carrie was a great mother to a special-needs child. Now, in her absence, Sam’s world has turned upside down.

California has always had bicyclist-friendly weather and this, coupled with the inconvenience of city traffic, and rising gas prices have meant that more people cycle not just for work, but also leisure. Even with the CHP’s awareness programs regarding cyclist’s rights, motorists still tend to consider bicyclists as intruders on the roads. This attitude is made worse when people like Alex Trujillo are negligent enough to drive their cars under the influence of alcohol or drugs. The impact of the bicycle accident and the fact that Carrie was thrown several feet away from the scene of the car accident, indicates Trujillo’s rashness.

Sam’s condition warrants that his father and family immediately begin making some urgent decisions about their son’s care before there is any effect on his sensitive condition. We advise his family to get in touch with an Orange County bicycle accident attorney as soon as possible.

A few weeks back, we discussed the road rage bicycle accident in Los Angeles where a motorist braked his car right in front of two bicyclists, injuring them both seriously. This bike accident, and other similar bicycle accidents, have led to authorities in the city waking up to the increased hostility between cyclists and motorists on the city’s crowed streets. After a long time, there is consensus among the city’s engineers and politicians, as well as cycling enthusiasts and motorists that something needs to be done to address this problem before more such road rage incidents send more bicyclists to the hospital.

In that particular accident, the driver was arrested. But in another bicycle accident on Mandeville Canyon that very same day, a woman was almost driven off the street and into the bushes at the side, when she was faced with a group of cyclists all riding their bicycles in a row instead of a single file towards her. The woman is one of the growing numbers of Angelenos who claim that bicyclists are to blame for the increase in bicycle/ motorist confrontations on our streets.

The country’s second largest city, according to the LA Times, has slowly evolved into the nation’s bicycling capital with thousands of commuters taking off on their bike everyday on their way to work, as well as leisure. For some, it’s a way of beating rising gas prices; for others, it’s a way of reducing their carbon footprint on the planet. No matter what the reason for bicycling, incidents of confrontation have become all too common. Motorists insist that the bicyclists can be rude and arrogant as they glide through the streets, in some cases even being offensive and abusive. Bicyclists meanwhile, allege that they are treated like the stepchildren of the transportation system, as if they don’t belong on the road, and say all the abuse and arrogance is a shield for the kind of vulnerability they feel when they are side-by-side with a massive machine. They feel, if it comes down to a show of force between a bicycle and a car or SUV, it’s the bicyclist who holds the short end of the stick.

City authorities are waking up to reality, and the need for making streets not just easy and convenient for motorists to use, but also safe for the bicyclists. The City has even hired a transportation consultant to design a network that would integrate all the city’s bike paths into one single, cohesive, smooth-flowing unit. Councilman Rosendahl has proposed the setting up of a task force consisting of bicyclists, transportation officials and Los Angeles residents to come up with measures to deal with these confrontation issues.

The kind of paranoia that bicyclists feel on Los Angeles streets is probably justified. After all, they are at risk of bodily injury or death from a bicycle accident at the hands of motorists who don’t really believe they should be sharing their roads with bikes anyway. What’s needed more than anything else now is for a planned system of education for the public, so bicyclists are given their space on the streets and there are less of these bike accidents.

Road rage took on a whole new meaning in Brentwood over the Fourth of July, when a bicycle accident was caused by a motorist, who used his car as a weapon against two cyclists. The bicycle accident has put new focus on the increased conflict between cyclists and motorists in the area, and city authorities have finally begun to admit the problem is serious enough, and something needs to be done.

On the 4th of July, about 300 cyclists set off on a holiday bicycle ride to the top of Mandeville Canyon road in Brentwood. The event is a popular one with cyclists in the area, and takes place at least 5 to 6 times a year, drawing plenty of LA cyclists.

On the descent, one of the cyclists was injured, and had to be taken to the hospital. Two of his buddies, 40-year-old Ron Peterson and 28-year-old Christian Stoher, stayed back and tended to him, while the ambulance arrived. Later, as the two set off back down the hill, a car passed close to them and shouted obscenities. Then, as it moved ahead of the cyclists, the driver of the car pulled in front of the cyclists and slammed on his brakes. Christian was able to dodge in time, but was still injured after losing control of his bicycle, while Ron was thrown through the back window of the car, breaking the windshield. His nose was partially severed, and he received severe facial lacerations.

The driver of the car, Dr. Christopher Thompson, stopped and identified himself as a doctor, but offered the two severely injured cyclists no help or emergency care.

Thankfully for the two cyclists, the ambulance that was transporting the first injured cyclist to the hospital drove up, and they were able to get the help they needed. But it will be awhile before they make a complete recovery from the bicycle accident. Christian works as a photographer, and can’t go back to work unless he is 100 percent fit. Ron is still in the hospital with severe injuries sustained in the bicycle accident.

The police have now said they are treating this as a road rage incident and as a felony criminal assault, and not as a bicycle accident. The doctor has been arrested, and has been released after he posted $30,000 bail. He is due in court next month.

A Los Angeles City Councilman has now called for a meeting soon with cyclists in the area, council members and traffic police to discuss the rising conflicts between cyclists and motorist on the road. More and more people are choosing to cycle, not just for recreation, but as a cost saving measure in these days of rising gas prices. As more cyclists take to the street, there are going to be more such “road rage” incidents that we see.

This harsh treatment that cyclists get on our streets has to be dealt with strictly. There’s no point in asking citizens to reduce their carbon footprint and cycle for a greener world, if we can’t make the streets safe for them to ride. Given a choice between a cleaner world, and being ground to a pulp by a 5000-pound car whose driver suddenly decides you are responsible for all the chaos in the world, most cyclists would prefer to take their car instead. Educating people about the rights of bicyclists so both motorists and bicyclist can use the streets safely, is extremely important.

A 47-year-old man from San Ramon, California has being charged with drunk driving after an accident that injured a 13-year-old bicyclist.

The accident occurred on March 25 at a crosswalk on the Morgan Drive and San Ramon Valley Boulevard. The 13-year-old girl was riding her bike, when she was hit by George Freeman in his van. When police arrived at the scene, they could see that he was visibly drunk. Toxicology tests that were taken after the accident revealed that his blood alcohol level was over the legal limit of .08.

Not only was he behind the wheel in an intoxicated state, but he was also driving with children in the van. For this reason, Freeman has also been charged with child endangerment. Neither Freeman nor his two children were injured. He has been charged with felony driving under the influence while causing bodily injury, and felony child endangerment. The girl who was injured in the bicycle accident was hospitalized with serious leg and foot injuries, as well as a concussion. At the time of the bike accident, she was wearing a helmet.

The accident shocked the community at the time because it came within a week after another 8-year-old was killed while riding home on his bicycle. That accident occurred on Montevideo Drive. The driver in that accident, however, was not found criminally liable. It turned out that the boy rode his bicycle in front of the bus while it was making a right turn. Freeman, on the other hand, could face time in jail. He has been arraigned in Walnut Creek Superior Court.

For a man to be driving a van under the influence of alcohol is bad enough, but to have his children in the van with him is unforgivable. It appears that George Freeman is either not aware of the dangers of drunken driving, or doesn’t care. We find it hard to believe that a man who understands the implications and consequences of drunk driving would expose his children to the risk. If he shows this level of carelessness and disregard for the safety of his own children, how much attention does he pay to the well being of a stranger on the street? George Freeman’s actions could have had tragic consequences, and he should be held responsible for his negligent behavior. Freeman has only his luck to thank that there were no deaths, and that injuries were not life threatening. If he is allowed to get away without paying a heavy price, it won’t be surprising if he displays this same behavior again.

It’s a dangerous time for bicyclists on the busiest street in Santa Cruz. When 40- year-old deaf odd-job man Christopher Evan Rock was killed by a quarry truck trailer last Tuesday, his death only convinced citizens that something had to be done about the increasing numbers of bicyclist fatalities on the street.

Christopher Rock’s case is particularly tragic. A severe brain bleed about 14 years ago left his cognitive abilities limited. He had to drop out of school, and survived by taking up odd jobs here and there. He used notes and sign language to communicate. He liked to ride or walk wherever he went. Last Tuesday, Rock was on his bicycle riding east on Mission Street, when the trailer of a quarry truck struck and killed him. The driver of the truck reportedly did not even notice that there had been an accident until some one flagged him down.

Police are still investigating the cause of the accident, and are awaiting the results of Rock’s autopsy. By all accounts, it wasn’t the driver of the truck who is to blame for the accident. He was supposedly a “model employee”, and was said to be devastated by the accident.

The street itself, it’s feared, isn’t safe for bicyclists, and hasn’t been for a while now. Rocks’ death wasn’t the first one in recent times. Another cyclist was killed at that exact same spot making the toll two deaths since August. At least one other cyclist has been severely injured at the same point.

Residents say the street has no bicycle lanes, and there is hardly any concept of sharing the road. Caltrans is currently readying fluorescent “Share the Road” signs that will drive home the message of sharing the road space with bicyclists. But it’s obvious more needs to be done. And it is here that the issue seems stuck in a stalemate.

Residents and Caltrans officials blame a community meeting held several years ago, which failed to provide for bike lanes on the street. The bike advocacy group, People Power, at that time had just 60 members, and was not in a position to push for the protection of its cycling members. This, it seems, had been a grave mistake on the part of the city.

However, there isn’t much good to be had discussing how events in the past have contributed to the dangerous conditions on the streets. Making changes to the street is more important right now.

Residents seem enthusiastic about pushing for bicycle safety, and that’s an encouraging sign. People Power recently joined a memorial walk where hundreds of cyclists mourned the recent deaths of bicyclists. The organization has been invigorated by its current strength of 400 + members, and is planning to put pressure on the council for better bicycle safety.

We hope Caltrans and the City Council take whatever measures are necessary to increase safety for bicyclists on the street. If not, tragedies like Christopher Rock’s are likely to continue to occur.
