My Thoughts: when the mood strikes.

Boy on Bicycle Struck in Traffic

It was busy at work today (January 23, 2019).

Then on the way home a child of about 6, 7 or 8 rode his bicycle into traffic because he thought it was safe to cross; he was hit by an oncoming car. (Heading West on 5th Avenue North, just before Tyrone, St. Petersburg, Florida.)

He was hurt, but I don't think it was severe. Probably traumatized more than anything. I stayed for awhile and then left because many were stopped, helping him and calling for help. I felt he was in good hands and left. We were all traumatized over the event, but it could have been so much worse.

The lady that hit him was upset and pacing. She said, "He came out of no where. I didn't mean to hit him." I said, "I know you didn't." We were upset, but all present knew it was an accident.

I wonder why he was all alone, trying to cross a busy road during heavy traffic at rush hour. God be with him, his parents and the lady who hit him.
