Guy, probably 25 or so was on his bike trying to cross at a busy intersection. I was 20 feet from him turning left as he was getting ready to bike past me when a car hit him at probably 50 mph.

Bike ended up 60 feet away on the other side of the road. Sadly he ended up going head over heel and landing about 100 feet down the road. Force of the impact ripped his shoes and pants right off of him. He landed face down, legs mangled.

But the worst part is that he was then run over by a car that somehow didn't see him there. It was horrifying.

Guy behind me immediately ran over to assist and I called 911. Cops and emergency units were there in two minutes.

Gave a statement and so did several others. Credit to everyone for reacting. A guy who was apparently an EMT crossed over the intersection, parked his big truck and immediately started checking vitals. Another guy picked up the poor guy's wallet. Both cars that hit the guy stayed on scene (as they of course should have) and because the sun was behind him they said they could not see him (???).

Not sure what happened to the victim. He was unconscious but breathing when he was taken away. Face was apparently mangled and bloody. Not sure how he survived...he probably didn't.

Awful to see something like that.
