Military Truck in Washington D.C. Crushes Bicyclist

As I reported this morning, there is a strip between the White House and the Walter E. Washington Convention Center that is blocked  off to most traffic. Because there are many heads of state from across the globe in town, there is an almost constant sound of sirens in certain sectors of D.C.

When motorcades pass by certain streets, military trucks move into place to block traffic. This evening as various motorcades headed to the convention center, for a speech by President Obama, a military truck moving into place for a passing motorcade crushed a bicyclist. I happened by the accident scene just moments after it occurred. My live blogging from the scene is here.

    Wenzel,

    The media doesn't seem to be loading, show's a broken image, image.

    Doesn't seem to be a single mention of this in the mainstream media. Unbelievable.

    The military think they can do anything they want and get away with it. They get all the tax money and power they want. As for the corporate/mass media, just forget about them ... do not expect any truth from them.

    The female victim was the wife of one of my friend's coworkers. Small universe, isn't it. I predict a wrongful-death lawsuit against the District of Columbia or the U.S. Government. Awful story.
