how does a bicycle cause an SUV to flip over? thanks rnews, that must be one sturdy bike.
> Witnesses say a woman ran a red light and hit a man on a bicycle in Rochester Monday morning. It happened near the intersection of Mt. Hope Ave. and South Ave. around 10 a.m.
>
> Witnesses say they saw the SUV speeding on South Ave. when it hit the bicyclist. The SUV then flipped over, landing back on all four wheels.
> "When she came through the light, I looked over and I saw a guy lying in the street. I saw the vehicle doing a real live tumble,” said Vandy Gallishaw, witness. “It was just like it was just in a movie, seriously.”

+1
High center of gravity + dropping your cell phone, nail polish, and newspaper, jerking the wheel to the side because you just noticed the bike and red light = the Firestone Tumble

A comedian once said… “The younger the mother, the more stupid the name.” The witness must have had a very young mother.

It’s even more confusing when you read:
“Police say the bicyclist, the driver and a passenger were taken to the hospital with non-life threatening injuries”
You hit a bicycle hard enough to flip your SUV through the air, landing back on your tires, and everyone is ok after. Even the guy on the bike. 🙂
Were they filming The A-Team movie?
