I was hit by a car yesterday. 4 way stop sign intersection. I'm pretty sure I stopped a few seconds before the SUV but when I was in the middle she accelerated out. She said I scared her like she didn't see me then left the scene while someone was helping me to the side of the road. Took an ambulance to Sheldon Chumir.
Both tibia and fibula broken in the left angle and a fractured elbow and a chipped tooth. Bike carbon seems okay but wheel is bent. Will be out of commission for 6+ months. This type of injury often requires pins & plates, hopefully that's not the end of cycling for me in the long run.
