Ed W8EMV :city_ann_arbor:<p>Moments after I saw the bike lane sign flattened at N Main and Catherine, I witnessed a semi trailer carrying construction materials try to make a very wide turn from NB N Main onto EB Catherine, and a sedan ignored the turning truck and clipped the semi cab on the warning flag on the front bumper as it went by.</p><p>Everything was drivable as far as I could tell, and the semi trailer continued to the construction site. I'm sure there was damage to the body of the sedan.</p><p><a href="https://a2mi.social/tags/annarbor" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>annarbor</span></a></p>
