[*BCM*] grim scenes saturday... any news?

[jasmine laietmark]

Yesterday (Sat) at about 7:30 pm I saw the aftermath of a horrible accident
on the 4th St. bridge out of Southie. A helmet-less cyclist was hit - anyone
heard anything about this? Searching, I found this other incident on the
BPD's blog:

*BICYCLIST STRUCK BY CAR IN JAMAICA PLAIN EXPECTED TO SURVIVE*
At about 12:01am, on Saturday, August 1, 2009, officers from Area E-13
(Jamaica Plain) responded to a radio call for a motor vehicle accident
involving a man on a bicycle in the area of Centre and Lamartine Streets. On
arrival, officers located a 21 year-old black male lying on the ground,
being treated by EMS. The victim was transported to the Beth Israel Hospital
with life threatening injuries. Officers spoke to the motorist who stated
that he never saw the man on the bike. According to the motorist, he was
attempting to make a turn onto Lamartine when he felt and heard something
strike the passenger side of his car. Officers observed and did take note of
damage to the motorist’s passenger side door and window. After being struck,
the motorist states that he stopped his car and pulled over to see what had
happened. Upon exiting his car, the motorist stated that he observed an
