GhostCycle #1 - 9th Ave. & Columbia

“

Was riding N-bound on 9th Ave. riding on shoulder. Approached intersection of 9th Ave. and Columbia, noted car in opposite direction signalling left turn. Car was at stop while in intersection, so I proceeded through. Car then rapidly accelerated to make left turn while its oncoming vehicle traffic was turning left. I locked up my brakes and slid into the front right fender-panel of vehicle and then flipped onto hood of car leaving bicycle. Vehicle also stopped immediately prior to impact. Driver paid for replacement wheel.
