She is alive.
Texas cyclist is dragged screaming for 2,000 feet under a truck leaving her with horror injuries including an exposed SPINE
- Elizabeth English was riding in Austin, Texas when the truck hit her
- She kept her head up to protect her brain as the vehicle kept going
- The muscles on her back and her spine are exposed as she has no skin left
- Her organs are fine but she has serious injuries to her leg, back and hip
- Artemio Gomez Avila, 41, was charged with failure to stop and render aid
How cynical am I?
Maybe way too cynical.
You know that Austin residents demanded the mayor set it up to be a sanctuary city, right?
Cyclist, woman. Austin resident.
I’m reserving my full outrage until I hear how she votes.
Sorry.
I think this story proves politicians comments on illegal immigration correct. The illegals do the jobs Americans won’t do.
I’m an American and I would never do what this illegal did.
She looks like a lib, probably voted for sanctuary city. I hope she changes her mind if that is the case.
Get it right, please. They’re not illegal aliens, they’re pending registration-Democrats.
I also take note that the article seems to infer she is a lesbian.
So when an illegal runs over a lesbian, is that a hate crime?
Whose side does a lefty take on this one?
it was just an act love.
Be most interesting to see what, if anything, the lefties and Libtards have to say about this….one of their “pets” nearly killing one of their Austin supporters…. I hope that fence the Hilldabeast and Mad Hatter Bern perch on and straddle is spiked with concertina wire…
Fur,
Are you just testing/taunting the bike on roadway haters?
I am not biting.
I used to wonder whether or not I was capable of taking a life. I don’t wonder any more.
Judge: “Artemio Gomez Avila, having been found guilty of failure to stop and render aid, I hereby sentence you to five years in the state penitentiary. However, I will suspend that sentence if you agree to act as a skin donor to any patients in Texas needing such tissue until you have donated 200% of the skin area required for the treatment of the injuries you inflicted on Ms. English.”
Hey, I can fantasize, can’t I?
Back when cyclists had to ride facing oncoming traffic it was more sporting as they had the option of trying to swerve out of the way.
Coming up at them from behind is like shooting from a blind at a feeding station.
@JohnS – Just so you know, I am a very careful, respectful bicycle rider. I understand that the roads were designed primarily for cars, and act accordingly, almost always giving up my “legal” right of way to motor traffic because not doing so is rude, stupid, and dangerous. Also, just so you know, I’m packing. (-:
Failure to stop and render aid? A drunken illegal…..WTF?
Today, for the first time in about 20 years, I saw a lady riding on the, empty for miles, SIDEWALK. Not on the road, not in the parking lane, not in the effin bike lane. An hour later she was headed back, still on the sidewalk. Man, it would be nice to tell her thank you. So wise and considerate.
The woman is a college student and I don’t care how she votes or her sexual orientation. It has nothing to do with the accident . . . let’s not blame the victim.
If the rule of law is suspended by letting these m-fers stay in this country, then we should be able to form vigilantes and hunt them down.
If the Joker had a daughter
did he stop because he had to buy more beer? Or take a leak? Fry the bastard, and do it quick.
AWD was in Austin last year and witnessed an illegal alien pull out in front of a car and cause an accident. He then sped off racing through an intersection to get away. I wanted so bad to chase him down but wasn’t about to risk anyone’s life by running lights at the intersection. If you read about a hit and run, it’s almost always an illegal alien. Oh, and Austin sucks.

Uncle Al. (give me a moment, need to get tongue out of cheek)
I carry also. Doesn’t most everybody?
I am in LA (for now) and have witnessed multiple hit and runs on the roads. Anyone care to guess who the drivers were? (Choices: a) Hispanic; b) Hispanic; or c) Hispanic). Ok now guess!
The last hit and run occurred on the street near my residence. The driver, in a white work truck, took off the front end of a car while making a careless turn. Then, in a panic to get away, he mowed down some cyclone fencing. Drove over a median to get into the highway and sped off. We stopped to make sure the two young men in the car were ok. They were fine, but in shock (as was I!)
Well, how can you blame an illegal immigrant for running over someone named “English”? I mean, they probably don’t even know English when they see it…
?
Liberals have ruined Austin.
@BFH – that was my first thought as well. Sorry, but I have just about used up my compassion for libs that have brought us to the state we are in. Still, I hope she recovers.
From the article – “Elizabeth is more concerned about her beloved finance, Charlotte…”
q.e.d.
Still, I hope she recovers.>>>
I was kind of hoping she was a libtard, and the illegal hit a telephone poll and then was rushed to the hospital and he was taken care of ahead of her, and during her suffering she “got it” and became a thinking voter.
That’s my hope.
what’s the deal with all these beaners driving borracho all the time? wtf?
To all here that are wishing that this young woman “got it”.
That is some Fucked up Shit, stop and think for a moment; she could be anyone of your families loved members; yes I know all about sanctuary cities, I live in one,Seattle. I hate bike riders as much as anyone but to go as far as hoping she changes her mind about how she votes that is a bridge too far for me. Sorry BFH but this stuff stops when we have a big wall and a president that wants to get tough about stopping these monsters coming into our country. I am shocked at the lack of compassion here from the so called Christians. You who are wishing ill for this young woman need to check your priorities. I don’t swear on iOTW very often anymore but Fuck You all who are blaming this woman who was doing nothing wrong but being a gay lib.
I can say with confidence that I will never get hit by a car while riding a bike. I’m not that fucking stupid
