I got home from a nice sunset ride to find that 2 cyclists were killed
by hit and run drivers in SF today.

7th/Folsom, and GGP

Stay lucky

The SoMa one has a lot of details I found in some random facebook group.
The rider was t-boned by a BMW running a red light at ~50 MPH. Uncertain if cyclist survived.
Driver did not get away, uncertain if they tried to, the car wasn't very drivable (airbags deployed/etc...)

these both really suck (obviously)...the GGP one has me on the verge of hyperventilation though...would never expect that there.

The Michigan thing just shows how anyone can be cut down any time. That was wide shoulder, broad daylight, straight road…

50-60 mph on JFK, of all places, and hitting someone head on while passing other vehicles, then takes off, after having killed a person?  Fuck is an understatement.
My wife commutes on her bike through the park 2-4 times a week from GH.
Where does the insanity end?

Ugh so sad and disgusting. I've had a couple close calls along that stretch with vehicles overtaking other vehicles and going WAY across the double yellow line. Very scary considering most of us ride there very frequently, and I consider golden gate park "safer" than other parts of the city for biking in.

I suspect that it is not a coincidence. I am guessing that they were virtual road racing with GPS. I have notice some crazy driving, different than normal. Anyone know how to research if this might be going on?

SDBC page: http://www.sfbike.org/news/how-to-honor-heather-and-kate/

the dude/hero who essentially apprehended the BMW X3 driver (7th/Howard homicide) gives his account here:


the driver is Farrukh Mushtaq, another local, age 32. OP thought possibly drunk.

I saw a man flee a car with airbags opened and signs of a fresh accident, as the car hit into another car. Called 911 and tried to get the attention of other driving passerbys that paused but kept going. As the guy tried to blend in with others on the street, I chased him down with another pedestrian and demanded he sit and wait for the police, he obliged. Definitely not sober. F'ing guy killed someone due to his recklessness. Witnesses said he blew through a red light when he struck the girl. His car told the same story.

Kate was 26, Heather was 41. so, so sad.

I don't have much faith in George Gascon lifting a finger, as usual. "It was an accident, after all." "Insufficient evidence." That kind of thing.

Take a minute to let Gascon know how you feel on twitter -- @georgegascon. and of course good ol' Ed, cardboard cutout of a mayor: @mayoredlee.

SFBC link re Heather and Kate: http://goo.gl/FoLNgF

I will be flabbergasted if Farrukh gets more than probation for the homicide of Kate Slattery.

Mr. Gascón said the ride had started in Marin County, across the Golden Gate Bridge, and that Mr. Bucchere "was trying to beat his own record" on the route. "He had a need for speed," Mr. Gascón said.

I look forward to George Gascon's characterization of Farrukh Mushtaqh.

The GGP carwas stolen. Then again, the guy who ran over the guy on tunnel road -which was captured on the riders go-pro - claimed his car was stolen too...
