WPIX-Emily Rahal-Brooklyn cyclist fatality
The account of a male cyclist suffering traumatic head injuries when struck by a female motorist
is seriously skewed.It doesn't say if the cyclist wore a helmet.(97% of cyclist fatalities result
from NO HELMET) It doesn't say why the female motorist was taken into custody-a rarity. The journalist
said her information-likely gleaned from the police dept. did not specify. Further the reference to
the crash map-refers to alleged motorist involved accidents. The map by neglecting cyclist/micro transport
generated accidents seriously neglects a gross element of danger on the streets and sidewalks. Those
encounters are rarely reported to NYPD. This is an object lesson in how "Vision Zero" is a warped
vision informed by hubris and zealotry. An abject reckless disregard for public safety.The stats
are alarming. One questions whether they too may have been "massaged."*********
