That's where she literally T–boned me and knocked my 54 pound bike down and me flying onto the Highway.<br />Her story to the police was not the truth...<br />Pieter's Strava app also shows exactly the spot where he had to stop in order to avoid her vehicle...<br />Don't want to publish more on Social Media but rest assured that I got my accident well documented as I turned Strava off right there and Pieter took some photos from police and Fire Department truck.<br />Yes, the help of those 3 ladies is fabulous and Pieter is a little better in this 3rd week of being caretaker... Not easy for his age!<br />Hugs,<br />MarietteMariette VandenMunckhof-Vedderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16877699174880945452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1974466215163623524.post-25641393490696755362023-03-07T16:27:51.585-05:002023-03-07T16:27:51.585-05:00The accident was most upsetting and your injuries ...The accident was most upsetting and your injuries serious. Thank the Lord you were not killed dear Mariette. Bob, having spent a lifetime in insurance claims, is wondering how/where exactly it happened, and was the driver charged. We both send get well wishes and hope you will have a full recovery. You are a most stalwart lady, a fighter for sure, so I know you will do well. Hope dear Pieter is managing - you are such a good housekeeper I know he will have to pick up the slack somewhat, but glad to hear there are people helping out too.<br />Bless you and may you feel much better very soon.<br />Mary and Bob XXMaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11915239653283205065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1974466215163623524.post-47956619485418357832023-03-07T15:10:10.734-05:002023-03-07T15:10:10.734-05:00Dearest RTC,

I would not have been alive otherwise. The police report reads: posted speed 35—what that lady hit my bike with. No helmet—I'd be gone!<br />Being on the road it is not only about our own actions but the actions (uncontrollable by us) by others surrounding us...<br />Hugs,<br />MarietteMariette VandenMunckhof-Vedderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16877699174880945452noreply@blogger.com
