Portland couple, both Nike execs, die after lumber on passing truck strikes them during California bicycle ride

This happens often with overloaded trucks. Sometimes it's rocks falling on bikers

I avoid trucks on the road when I'm on a bike I fall all the way back. But this sounds like it was unavoidable

Just a weird addition to the story to me. As if this changes how I read the story

Yes we didn't need to know they were wealthy Nike execs. But I guess rich people matter more or something. You right it's weird

Final Destination the movie is why whenever I see someone driving with materials/junk hanging out of their truck I always stay clear.

I always had a fear of log trucks after seeing one flipped over driving home one day. Then when i saw the movie it made it worse.

Then when i lived in Virgina it indirectly caused the end of my relationship at that time. We were flying out of town later that day and I needed a haircut. We had about 3hrs until we needed to leave for the airport and were already packed so i went to get my cut (it was a 7min drive from the house). On the way back a log truck dropped it's load and completely blocked the road.

We missed our flight, had to drive down instead and that was pretty much the final nail for us. But in hindsight i should be thankful bc i dodged a bullet.

Probably not riding in the bike lane thinking they own the road.

People's occupation is usually mentioned in stories like this, if the reporter knows it.

Thanks for the spurious victim-blaming with zero evidence to support your accusation. You've really made a valuable contribution to the thread.

You add to the fray by labeling them victims with no evidence.

The truck driver hasn't been charged...that's evidence supporting my theory.
