As I passed the scene I noticed a biker being attended to. He appeared unmangled at first glance though he wasn't upright (seated\leaning\hunched). Was wearing hi-vis and then I saw a bike on the shoulder up ahead (I think it may have been a Victory).
Anyone know how a way to follow up on the condition?
Morning commute (so doubtful alcohol was involved), express lanes, high-vis clothing, guess we all need to be extra careful out there

a couple hit a deer here a few days ago. no gear. passenger on life support. the rider passed I believe.
I had to come to a complete stop from 55mph coming into town the other day. car in opposite lane turns left in front of me. lady on phone, pulling into gas station. then sees car at pump, and comes to near stop in my lane.... me... near curb, sitting still now- blaring horn. She looks up about 5 seconds later. gives me the "oh my bad didn't see you look"
All happens in a instant.
stay sharp everyone.

I had someone turn left in front of me from the opposing lane yesterday, not high enough speed to do serious damage (I don't believe so at least).

deer are no joke. think the spot it happened was a 35mph zone...doesnt mean they were traveling that speed though... :/
to answer the "how do you follow up?" question...
I follow some local emergency public FB pages. theyll announce call outs to the emergency crews, and GENERALLY youll hear updates.
whenever its a bike, it always freaks me out..
