I wanted to see if I could get some help from the hive mind that is social media, earlier today on my bike commute home from work at about 4:40pm I was hit by a truck from behind at a red light on Mcleoud and 15th Ave SE across from Alpha House, where I was knocked over my handlebars and into the middle of the road.
The truck which I think was a newer blue Ford F-150 then decided it would be a responsible idea to drive off as fast as possible and leave me in the middle of the road on back. The driver then ran through the next set of lights at 17th Ave where it looked like a red light camera snapped a picture. I'm hoping that the camera caught a picture of this irresponsible driver but I'm still waiting to hear back from the Calgary Police Service about it.
The truck also left behind the mirror that I was struck from behind with as well so hopefully that can identify the truck that hit me.
Yes I am okay and not in the hospital thankfully, I'm home with my loving wife, I just ended up with a scraped elbow and hand, and a sore shoulder. Just a little shaken up by the events too.
There were lots of witnesses at the accident, but no one happened to catch the license plate number of the truck. If you could please share this post hopefully someone who was there might have seen the license plate number as well, If the red light camera didn't already capture it, and please report it to the police at 403-264-1234
Also a big thank you to all the friendly people that stopped to make sure I was okay and helped me out.
