This happened last year, but it’s a reminder that “stray bullets” (i.e. moving vehicles) are still a danger to everyone.

    No info here other than some random-ass tweet claiming there had been an accident.

    I’m assuming you read the article, but it doesn’t appear that you did.

    Ghost bikes are put up as a reminder of the loss of life in that specific area. Most normal people would see a Ghost Bike and kind of get this slap to the brain to drive like people lives are at stake. The fact that someone in a car crashed into that reminder is the whole irony of the story.

      Unfortunately, the ghost bikes in my area usually partially block the sidewalk and/or impede maintenance of the infrastructure that is there, making it less safe for everyone. Wish they would stop or find another way.

      The fact that someone in a car crashed into that

      I did read the article. Show me where that fact was stated. Because it wasn’t, and that’s my complaint. All they had was was a 10 month old tweet with pole in the road.
