Fremont Universe reader Jon says a bicyclist was involved in a nasty accident Wednesday on the Burke Gilman, near 3rd Ave. He writes:
A woman hit at speed one of those locked bollards in the path that are intended (I suppose) to prevent people from driving their cars on the trail. She was very badly injured…. I’ve nearly clipped those posts myself and thought they should be made more visible somehow (orange flags on a fiberglass mast?) This poor woman obviously didn’t see them at all. It was chilling.
Medics responded to the accident just after 8:30 a.m. Due to health privacy laws, we’re unable to check on her condition.
