A Cyclist Loses His Life on S. Salem Street

A very sad report about a cyclist losing his life in a car accident yesterday, Saturday July 11th on South Salem Street at the intersection with Apex Peakway. I was in the car heading towards S. Salem Street right around noon when we saw there had been an accident. Cyclists, an ambulance and police. We had to turn around and travel back to Olive Chapel to get to 55 again. We didn't know what had happened until later, when reading the WRAL account.

How strange it is that we happened upon the scene from afar, not know what happened exactly until later, went about our day. But just beyond our not knowing was a well of grief and suffering. Life is just that mysterious, just that unpredictable, just that dangerous. One minute we're alive and breathing and then suddenly, we're not. Very sad.

WRAL has the report.
