俺们县里的悲剧:巡警开车打瞌睡,撞死两名自行车手

打印 被阅读次数

这个周末弯曲半岛南端的Foothill College 聚集了上千自行车爱好者,下午2点许,长达2公里、浩浩荡荡的车队如一条五彩缤纷的长龙,朝着20公里外的Stevens Canyon Road 出发。队伍中男女老少、高矮胖瘦,骑着五花八门的各种两轮、三轮、一轮的自行车。这么多群众为了什么共同的革命目标走到一起来了呢?

因为上个星期天俺们县里(Santa Clara County) 发生得一场悲剧。3月9日上午10时左右,Stevens Canyon Road 阳光灿烂、风景如画,自行车如织。一辆正在巡逻的警车突然从路的一边横过中间的黄线,冲到对面的车道上,横扫对面自行车道上的3人,两人死亡、一人重伤。死者 Matt Peterson (30), Kristianna Gough (29) is a Olympic cyclist. 肇事的警察事后对目击惨状的其他自行车骑手说,他可能是在打瞌睡。

Olympic cyclist Kristianna:


昨天,成千来自湾区各地的自行车爱好者们,自发地组织了这个纪念游行。俺家LD也爱好骑自行车,当年每个星期天都要到那条路上去骑车几小时。自从搬家以后,现在每个星期天要从 Page Mill 上到 Skyline. 昨天俺上网察看 "Bay area 25 deatist cycling roads" Page Mill Road 赫然排名前十。

于是当昨天上午LD筒子又整装待发骑车去爬 Skyline 时,俺不干了。要骑咱们一家一起骑,俺不求同年同月生但求同时同日死。结果LD妥协,在俺们的车后挂上 trailer bike, 就这么一家四口、骑着两辆3轮车雄赳赳气昂昂地上了路。虽说不指望儿子们推着俺走,想他们上山时当个 back engin 总行吧?没想到他俩一路上连假模假样的蹬蹬车都不怠干,光东张西望看景儿了。弯曲的山啊,难于上青天,俺们一路上慢如蜗牛爬啊,却也获得不少喝彩声。当然这么拖家带口地,Skyline 是上不去的啦。爬半道上队伍的一大半就叫苦连天,只好掉头把家还了,不过咱是一根汗毛也不缺地回了家。

爱骑自行车的朋友们,请当心!
