for an unknown reason, the Kia went off the roadway and hit the bicyclists.

Yeah, sometimes you have to do that to get them...

This is why i mainly ride gravel. Way fewer vehicles and the scenery here in Texas is much better. Of course you have the occasional cowboy pull up and ask “YA’LL LOST?”

Bicyclists heading south on the east side of the highway. wouldn’t that be riding against traffic. Dangerous thing to do. That would be against the law in my State.

6:21? That’s sunset, could’ve been blinded by the sun coming around a curve. My daily commute is East in the morning, and west in the evenings. I try to organize my work so I avoid the sun. I’m nearly 70, and I don’t drive in the dark if I can avoid it.

I worked at Saratoga Summit in college, Highway 9 is not a road 85YO drivers should be on. It was 50 years ago, but I spent two summers in a fire truck making plenty of drives to and from Felton.

Had I not been on an ROTC scholarship, I very likely would have stayed with the California Division of Forestry.

“...four bicyclists were going south on the east shoulder of the highway”

So the bicyclists were on the wrong side of the road! They were going against traffic, not with it. Were they rank beginners?

“ An 85-year-old woman was driving a blue Kia Forte going north on Highway 9 while four bicyclists were going south on the east shoulder of the highway. CHP said that for an unknown reason, the Kia went off the roadway and hit the bicyclists.”

The South direction shoulder is on the West.

A hole bicyclists were going the wrong way.

Vaxxident. Either that or she hated cyclists.

I’m familiar with that stretch of road, as I used to ride my motorcycle through there quite a bit back in the 80s.
