I feel very sad for the family, what a horrible thing to go through.

Milton is spot on, that intersection is pretty treacherous and i saw a few accidents there before, though never this bad. It's one of those intersections where i'd always stop for the light, even if it looks safe.

I do, however, lie on the same side as those who say they run lights. It can be done safely using common sense.

This article is making me rethink my "ebike = no need for a helmet" policy though. My ebike does 65kph but for some reason in my head it feels like i don't need protective gear on an electric vehicle. I know it's not very smart.
