On my way home tonight, I saw a van hit a woman on an electric bike. What happened was that the bike tried to race through an amber and red light. The van having the green accelerated forward hitting the bike. I was going in the same direction as the van, so I saw the whole thing from behind. Going through the intersection, I had the same right of way courtesy of the green light that the van had. So, as I passed the scene, I saw the driver just getting out of his van to see what damage had been done.
I have witnessed more collisions in the four years I have been in China than I ever saw in the rest of my life in Canada.

I've seen my fair share of accidents too. The only difference being the ones I see here in China are usually always minor compared to the bigger accidents I saw in America.
ReplyDeleteWas the bike rider injured?
Wuxi has all sorts of expressways and I heard they have horrific car accidents as well.
ReplyDeleteMy friend told me he saw an Audi totalled by a truck.
I didn't stop to see the aftermath of the accident. But the cyclist was not killed.
