If you think you're having a bad day, reflect for a moment upon the tale of a bicyclist in Greenville, South Carolina. He was riding without a helmet and without proper lighting on his bicycle, so it is not particularly surprising that a driver didn't see him and hit him with a car. The driver of the car stopped and apparently called for an ambulance. While the wounded bicyclist was sitting and waiting for help to arrive, another car approached.
GREENVILLE, S.C. – A driver has been charged with leaving the scene of an accident with injuries after her car hit a bicyclist who was in the road waiting on an ambulance to treat him for injuries after being hit by another car.
Shannon Harris of Anderson turned herself in to investigators Sunday night after initially leaving the scene of the accident, said Lance Cpl. Kathy Hiles, a spokeswoman for the Highway Patrol.
The bike rider, whose name has not been released, was in serious condition at Anderson Area Medical Center, Hiles said. He was not wearing a helmet and his bike lacked proper lighting, Hiles said.
No charges were filed against the first driver.
