Friend of San Diego Injury Law Firm Struck by Truck
A friend of the Jurewitz Law Group and San Diego resident was riding his newly tuned-up bicycle around the uptown area of San Diego this last Saturday morning.
The University Heights resident was heading back home after running some errands during this busy day and, as he was riding out of the parking lot of the Ralph's in Hillcrest, he stopped behind a grey Ford F-150. This Ford pick-up truck was waiting to go into the underground parking lot blocking off the path.
Our friend stopped behind the truck waiting for him to move when suddenly the truck driver decided to go in reverse instead of forward. Not looking into his mirrors, the driver did not see our employee and hit him with his truck. Our employee fell off of his bike with his groceries spilling all over the floor.
The Ford truck driver came out of his pick-up asking if everything was okay while our friend helped himself up. Fortunately, the driver didn't hit our cycling friend too hard and everything was fine. However, this truly does emphasize how San Diegans should really use their mirrors. People never know when someone can pull up behind you or next to you, especially in a grocery store parking lot where there are pedestrians and bicycle riders all over the place.
