GhostCycle #7 - Meridian Ave. N & Northlake Way

“

As I was approaching the intersection where the Burke Gilman trail crosses Meridian, I saw a van pull up and stop. I was approaching from the right and kept going once the van stopped. Then the van turned right onto Northlake Way, hitting my handlebars and knocking me over. I started screaming at the van before it hit me, so he stopped almost right away. He was very helpful, getting a stool out of his van for me to sit on, etc. He got a ticket from the cops and his work insurance covered all my injuries, bike reimbursement and pain and suffering. Someone who worked nearby came out and told me he sees a lot of accidents in that area b/c of the way the trail curves when approaching the intersection.
