Cyclist killed by bus in North Carolina
36 year-old cyclist Todd Weaver has been killed after being
hit by a bus in Charlotte, North Carolina, USA last Friday
afternoon. According to the Charlotte Observer, Weaver was
riding north along South Tryon at approximately 5:00pm when
the southbound CATS bus, driven by 50 year-old Jerry Miller,
turned left into a parking lot. Weaver hit the bus near the
door and was killed almost immediately, as medics were unable
to revive him at the scene.
The tragedy was compounded by the fact that Miller had a
history of accidents, including one just half an hour before
the one involving Weaver. At approximately 4:30pm on Friday,
Miller hit a planter as he turned from Fourth Street into South
Tryon. No-one was seriously injured. According to police records,
Miller had had five accidents in the previous four and a half
years. He has not been charged in the Weaver death.

I will miss the times and laughs I’ve had
with him. I will miss him bringing his family
to the Georgia Tech games and watching him
and Brady chase each other on the field. I
will miss his weekly updates on his family
and how proud and how much he loved of all
of them. I guess this is goodbye for now,
my friend. Thank you for being there through
the years for me and making everyone’s life
you touched better!!!
