Wednesday's 441-Sandalfoot Pedestrian
Thanks to yet another reader for both the above photo and the details of an incident Wednesday at Sandalfoot and 441.
Regarding your story yesterday about the man hit on 441 and sandalfoot: I was there and know what happened.
The driver was in the turning lane turning from 441 onto Sandalfoot west on a green light. The homeless man was very drunk on his bike fighting with another homeless man when he got pissed and decided to ride into oncoming traffic from the side of the road.
The driver didn’t even see him and the man on the bike collided with the side breaking the mirror and making a couple scratches to the car, his bike was undamaged. The man was taken by ambulance and was highly intoxicated but otherwise seemed ok on the scene.
The police made a report and even the other homeless men acted as witnesses on the driver’s behalf. The driver was found not at fault. I will include a photo to prove how close I was to the incident.
We reported the incident earlier on Facebook and other readers sent us photos, below:
Our best guess is that the police car is from Coconut Creek PD, but we’re not sure.
