Whats Wrong With J-Way Drivers? Cyclist Hit and Dragged 100 Feet, Motorist Flees

Written by Boston Biker on Oct 08

Be on the look out for a white dodge caravan, it stuck an elderly man today on his bicycle on the Jamaica Way and drug him 100 feet before fleeing the scene.

From the Brookline Patch.

The victim, a 65-year-old man, was struck by a van near 434 Jamaicaway around 1:08 p.m, according to Massachusetts State Police. The van reportedly left the scene immediately after the crash and the man was taken to Beth Israel Hospital with serious injuries.

This is not the first time someone in a motor vehicle has gone ape shit on the J-way you might recall than another driver nearly killed a bunch of pedestrians when he drove his car up on to the sidewalk in pursuit of a cyclist.

Lets hope the cyclist makes a recovery. Thanks for the tip Neal.

November 8th, 2008 Noon
Noon, By the Pavillion at Jamaica Pond (The Arboretum is a bitch to get out of)
This will be a hunting themed alleycat.
Bring your bullhorns and gunracks.
That sort of thing.
There WILL be beer at the finish line. And a B B Q.

I heard a rumor someone might even be deep frying a turkey….more here.
