Quotes from victims of campus crashes
I was biking north on Mass Ave going straight, a truck failed to yield to me and turned right on Windsor into me, I was taken to CHA hospital via ambulance for injuries, ended up with a concussion, dislocated left knee, and nasty road rash scrapes, I couldn’t walk for a week and had issues with brain fog/fatigue/lack of ability to concentrate for a month after.
I was biking on the Vassar St bike lane, when a car parked in the bike lane ahead of me, backing up onto me. The driver got angry at me, hit me and threatened to kill me. MIT PD said they couldn’t do anything and to call Cambridge police.
