what evey happened to-- stop --look--and listen-- I hope that they are ok --but it seems or society has lost all common sense.You know the speeds wait on traffic or go and make a U-turn

Please, this is not "Kingsville".

People cross Pulaski Hwy nearer to city line too....no matter at one point it is NOT pedestrian friendly...use your common sense peds

Blaming drivers for stuff like this is stupid to me. If you're a pedestrian trying to cross a four lane highway, especially one that is not a residential street and you get hit by a car, I'm sorry, but that's your fault for not paying attention and not knowing how to cross a street. Pulaski highway is a straight road, no blind corners, just straight. If people knew how to cross the street, this stuff wouldn't happen. Of course, people don't respect the speed limits because they're too low, but unless you're devoid of common sense (which itself is more common than common sense), you can cross any street safely if you just use your brain. Too much to ask of people these days, it seems.

Regardless, I hope the person is okay and fully recovers. I don't know why we can't just say sometimes "Hey, you need to learn how to cross the street, dummy." Nope, always the driver's fault. Roads are for cars. As a person crossing the street, you should know this and respect roads just as you would respect a bear in the wilderness. You going to tread carefully around that bear (in the bear's territory) or are you going to run out in front of it? Christ..

The guy was a pretty good distance off the road, in the grass, working on his bicycle. Girl struck a pole or mail box and veered in to him and he was thrown into the road. Girl came stop, allegedly with phone still in hand.

Clarification It was a bicyclist that had stopped to make a repair on his bicycle.

The adult male was struck by a car that had driven off the road, striking other things, and was returning back onto the road when he was struck..

It occurred at 12226 Pulaski Highway, Joppa MD 21085 Though most in this area consider this Upper White Marsh or Lorely, it is actually Joppa.

The victim was flown via Trooper 1 (medevac) to Shock Trauma in Baltimore after being attended to by crews from WhiteMarsh and Joppa Magnolia Volunteer Fire Companies as well as Crews from Station 12, Middle River.

the reason for the accident is for the police to investigate and determine. Speculation on the cause would be inappropriate. Many things such as sleep deprivation, phones, radios, medical conditions, mechanical failure, even reading or doing makeup , pot holes, the list is endless all can lead to distraction and or loss of control.

Wow, if all of these people would put as much effort in telling the government that we are tired of the B/S they give us. then maybe Maryland would'nt be such a bad place to live.

Would very much like to know the statis of this guy. First responders indictions not good. The girl will walk away with tickets for negligent driving and phone was being checked for an additional ticket. Thats all. Person at accident said the POS never checked on victom but walked around her car looking at damage. Please if anyone knows of a way to get more info please post it. Very tramatic for responder and closure on condition would be appriciated. Noseinabk2@gmail.com

Mike . Know a person who was present at the scene. Cant give away much. Just first hand account that the guy was chilling out after small bike repare. Maybe he was watching the local bge guys replace a pole. Maybe the guy was sitting in the grass taking pictures. Maybe the Pos driver was not paying attention and lost control, hit a mailbox,went off road and hit guy. However the driver who did not have the smarts to hit her brakes also did not ever let go of her phone as it was in her hand when she came to a stop. Sorry if sloppy post but suxs posting on mobile. Again,jf anyone has info to find this poor guy or knows how to get it pm me .
update pm me.

On scene

I may be wrong,but this person asking for info sounds like they may have been the one driving and texting. Guilt can be an ugly thing. Hope that I am wrong.

I was referring to the other person Nose.... something. any how, why would someone say they have inside info then not give up details when asked. people post on this thing and get someones atttention then want to keep secrets. if they saw anything that happened then they should be willing to share this info so others will know that there are this type of person in our neighborhoods. total desreguard for others and life itself.

Came upon accident around 11:30 it wad a young female driving

It says stay with patch for more. Why wad there never a follow up on this i woukd like to know how the pedestrian is doing

Hey guys,

I did get a chance to touch base with police. No information from police on how the cyclist is doing. But I did confirm some details of what people were hearing.

Oh my gosh people, get a life. It's always the same people "commenting" on Patch.

You all say the same things about every article! It's like a tape recorder. I only check to see what may be affecting my neighborhood, [ossibly things that may not be in the article, that have been discovered. AND I don't comment on every darn thing I read. that's my complaint, the same people b***h about anything and everything. Get a life. I actually do things besides read and comment on here, do you?

As amazing as this is, if you were to put everyone who posted on this ,in a room they would probably not talk at all. What the Hell it was fun for a while.Enjoy!!!

I am the driver who hit this innocent man. I was not talking or texting on my cell phone. I grabbed my phone while exiting my car to call 911, I did not know what i had hit so I looked at the front of my vehicle when i then realized it was a human being. I was in complete shock. Several people had already came to his aid. I was so afraid to even get close to this person i had struck, seeing that he was severely injured. I have prayed for this gentleman everyday and thank the lord he has survived. I am extremely haunted by this nightmare which is my own reality every second. I was extremely fatigued that morning and will deal with this guilt and shame for the rest of my life. I pray that God gives him and his family the strength they need to recover from this so painful and regretful accident.

Gosh, are you the one that witnessed the poor guy in the motorcycle accident too. You must see a lot of bad things happen to people. First time poster.
