Seeking Witnesses to March 4 bike accident, Kings Mtn Road, Woodside. Pass it on

[Robert Tomkinson]

Dear SF2G,
I hope a fellow cyclist here (or someone you know) can help me.
Please pass this along.

I was knocked off my bike by a car on the morning of March 4, as I
cycled down Kings Mtn Road towards Woodside. I am reaching out to see
if you, or anyone you know might have been a witness, or arrived on
the scene shortly after the accident. Several nice people did stop to
help (including one named "John"), but in my condition at the time, I
did not think to get their contact details. Now I need to make contact
with ANY witnesses (even if they arrived after the collision) to
support my police and insurance claim.

Please pass this along to any cyclists you know who might have been
there.

Details:

When: Between 11am and Noon, Sunday March 4th 2012
Where: About half-way down Kings Mountain Road (above Huddart Park
entrance). I was coming down, round a right-hand bend. Hit by a car
going up.
What: I was wearing a red/white/blue helmet, and a yellow/blue jersey,
riding a black Jamis road bike. Car that hit me was an older model
Jeep Grand Cherokee, black or dark grey, driven by a young woman
heading uphill, and on my side of the line as she was overtaking
another bike.
Outcome: Emergency services came and took me to Stanford Hospital,
where I had surgery. Broken bones including collar, shoulder, ribs,
and various other wounds -- lucky to have walked away from it.

Unfortunately, with only my account and the driver's, the police
report is currently inconclusive, which prevents me from making
insurance or legal claims to help with my medical and other bills.

I have put up posters in popular cycling hangouts and near the area.
I would really appreciate it if you would let me know if you or anyone
you know might have seen ANYTHING. However trivial it may seem.

Please contact me at: rtomk...@yahoo.com or 415 713 0147. And pass
this along. Thank you in advance.

Drive and ride safely.
