  1. This report is not accurate. I will rewrite it here for you. I know this because it was ME:

    September 20 at 9:56 am officers responded to the report of a female subject, awesome road cyclist injured on a bicycle. When they arrived, they discovered the bicyclist had been in a traffic collision with a vehicle. The female was slowing to make a left turn, using a hand signal to indicate this. A vehicle started accelerating to go around her oblivious to her signal, and later admitted to being in a hurry and not seeing her signal,. He swerved around in the opposite lane (going south in the northbound land) and hit her from the rear. The vehicle hit her. She flew in the air, landed on her head and slid down the street to a stop, landing on her back. She was transported to the hospital where she learned she was lucky to be alive. She is in pain and suffering at home, unable to work.
    Every day the bruising and soft tissue injures are magnified. Yes, you may call it minor injures, she does not!
