The bicycle and the pick-up truck

When I got out of the elevator this morning, I didn’t immediately realize that something was amiss, from the flashing red light I could see through the front doors. As I stepped out the front doors of the building I was thinking that it was probably the cops pulling over a speeder (Oblivious to the fact that there were no reflected blue lights, just red)
As I rounded the corner of the driveway though I saw that it was actually an ambulance and firetruck parked in front of my building. It took me a second to process what I was seeing. There was a pickup truck, paramedics working around someone in a stretcher, a family of 3 standing on the lawn… and a bicycle crumpled under the front end of the truck.
I hope that dude is OK; I don’t want to see him at work.

(Sorry for the grainy image. I took it at extreme range, from the bus stop, using my knock-off go-Pro; I wanted to be respectful of the situation and wasn’t about to start snapping pics as I walked past. That is a firetruck and an ambulance (in with morning traffic.)
