Wash Blvd. Luckily, she only suffered a few bumps and bruises. A fellow rider (who was driving) stopped and gave her a ride home though since she was pretty shaken up. The truck was a flat bed (not a long flat bed, but a short one for carrying a single car in back) that was carrying an Infiniti sedan in back. The incident occurred around 6:15 last night about a half mile south of the i-90 bridge. The truck also buzzed myself and another rider very closely. Unfortunately, no one caught a license number. I'm sharing this for a couple reasons. First, to see if anyone else saw this truck and perhaps even had a close call with it. It might be a long shot, but if the vehicle can be identified then the driver could at least be given a warning by police if not more. (Are there any other racer mailing lists that this could be distributed to?) And, secondly as a reminder to be cautious out there; most drivers are very courteous, but there are a few a*!^$les out there. Keep the rubber side down, -Demian .
