Driver illegally drives onto bike path and seriously injures cyclist

Any guesses on what consequences face the driver? If you guessed ZERO, you’re probably correct! The NYPD press office tells us that because the driver stayed at the scene they don’t have any information on this. And because the cyclist is in serious condition, and not dead, the NYPD’s Accident Investigation Squad is not conducting an investigation, as they’re required to do by law.

If you’re not outraged by this, you are devoid of emotion.

Fuck.

This is horrible and inexcusable. The bike path in question isn’t just a green strip following the flow of traffic. IT IS AN ENTIRELY SEPARATE ROADWAY RESERVED EXCLUSIVELY FOR BICYCLISTS. Thank goodness the cyclist isn’t dead, but how could the NYPD not be investigating?

    Reasons why my bicycle rarely leaves my apartment. I don’t want to end up like one of these people. :/

    This is why so many cyclists are assholes on the streets.

    I’m sure New York is a perfectly decent city, but their police suck so much I’d never consider living there.
