About Council Member Sally Clark's Collision with a Bicyclist: "Seattle City Councilmember Sally Clark says she immediately notified city officials in 2012 when her car collided with a bicyclist," reports the Seattle Times "Clark publicly discussed the incident for the first time Tuesday, prompted by the recent filing of a $2.5 million claim against the city more than two years later." The incident happened while Clark was on official city business—en route to a morning meeting with an LGBTQ leadership group—and the bike rider involved in the collision suffered a broken leg. “I was in my personal car and taking a left turn just before arriving at the location," Clark said in a statement to the Times. "I did not see an oncoming cyclist and he didn’t have time to stop before running into my passenger side door. I and others immediately called 911 and stayed with the cyclist until he was taken to the hospital. He had a clearly broken leg... This was an accident and a reminder of how quickly something like this can happen. As a driver and a cyclist—who rides my bike to work not often enough—I continue to be shaken by what happened. I’m thankful (if that’s the right word) that what was a bad outcome for the cyclist wasn’t worse.” A spokesperson for the Cascade Bicycle Club said riders should remain supportive of Clark and focus on pushing for infrastructure improvements that make roads safer—like protected bike lanes.
