“The initial crash investigation revealed that a Mazda B2200 was traveling northbound on Clairemont Avenue in the center travel lane,” the spokesperson said. “A cyclist was also traveling northbound on Clairemont Avenue in the curb lane. The cyclist attempted to turn left, westbound, onto Ponce de Leon Place from the curb lane of Clairemont Avenue. This action led to the cyclist striking the passenger side of the Mazda.”
If the police spokesperson can be trusted, seems like a poor decision on the cyclist’s part. I don’t turn left from the curb lane, I either take the left/turn lane (if feasible) or just pull over and cross perpendicular when it’s clear.
