Were you a wittiness to this.. ? Other sites are reporting that this was a hit & run and that the taxi fled and was found abandoned later.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ibarra Posted June 20, 2020 Report Share Posted June 20, 2020 I drove through the area shortly after it happened, there was a taxi pulled over on the lakeside ( don't know if it was involved but it was the only vehicle pulled over to the side). Victim was covered in the road, the bicycle was a mangled mess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barrbower Posted June 20, 2020 Report Share Posted June 20, 2020 I also saw the cab with a broken windshield pulled over in the vacant lot on the lakeside. Not hit and run. Sorry for the young man and his family. Sorry for the cab driver who will live with that accident image for the rest of his life. Judging by where the body was laying along with the mangled bike it seems obvious that the cab was not at fault. Drive defensively and assume something unexpected is about to happen because it soon will. Alan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That video is an old one of the motorcyclist that was killed in Riberas by the 711. The guy killed on the cycle happened just west of the golf thing in SAT and his body is laying on a friends driveway in a "foto". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ea93105 Posted June 20, 2020 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2020 While the bicyclist may have technically been crossing the road illegally , crossings are not a crime probably ever enforced or even discouraged here. He was definitely reckless in his crossing. I am surprised how quickly they let the taxi driver go and did they tow him away or let him drive away with a smashed windshield ? I heard it was an airport taxi. Somewhat curiously I also didn't see any skid marks from the taxi. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mainecoons Posted June 20, 2020 Report Share Posted June 20, 2020 I have to wonder what the rate of speed of that taxi was. They aren't known for paying a lot of attention to speed limits. Moving at the appropriate 40 kph there should have made this an avoidable accident. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
