This is a report of  June 29 The Seattle Times by Jeff Hodson.

  According to The Seattle Times, A 49-year-old Connecticut man was killed while riding his bicycle on North-east Juanita Drive in June 28 afternoon.


  He was riding north on Dexter in the designated bicycle land when he was hit by a southbound SUV turning east onto
Thomas Street
, according to employees in the area who had spoken to a key witness. 

  The driver sped through the intersection, they said, causing a terrific noise, before stopping briefly then taking off.


Police spokesman Jeff Kappel described the vehicle as a brown, American-made SUV with tinted windows and a chrome roof rack.

  It was the forth recent cat accident on the street, according to several people who work in the area.



My opinion:

  Car drivers should be more careful then the bicyclists, because cars have more power. Furthermore, a person who made mistake should be responsible. I hope everyone in Seattle can do something to help to make the traffic in Seattle to be better
