Harold was working the late shift at the local diner. Business was slow, so he decided to help prepare some of the silverware sets. While walking a bin of forks over to the sink, he tripped over that crack in the linoleum that he’d been complaining about for months. At first, it was an intriguing sight to see at least 100 forks flying through the air. It wasn’t as exhilarating when Harold, after hitting the floor, realized that he had a fork sticking out of the palm of his hand.

Martha went to school to pick up her two youngest children.

San Francisco just took bike safety to new heights, literally. The city’s Municipal Transportation Agency just debuted it’s first ever raised bike path, in an attempt to provide a few blocks of protection in the heart of downtown.

Canga, who was traveling with his brother, was in a white BMW in Union Square that Friday, the 13th.
Canga describes the accident as a “big bang…like ‘bang!’…and I was like ‘oh my god! what’s happening?!” Canga was reacting to…
Anyone that follows my articles knows my passion for pedestrian safety and my support of Vision Zero, the plan adopted by San Francisco and other cities across the nation, to reduce and eliminate pedestrian fatalities over the next 10 years. Even with all the support and activism Vision Zero has received, San Francisco pedestrian accidents keep happening at the same dangerously high rage, and more innocent pedestrians keep getting injured or killed. Such is the case for Soren Kim and his wife Hana,who have been taking turns pulling 24 hour shifts at the hospital, watching over their daughter after she…
