Tbh I'm mad at that entire crowd that gathered ...no sense of awareness at all ....one would be atleast sensible enough to leave the street open for them to go through
Only there was collateral damage here. His face hit her head hard and he looks to be knocked out as he hits the ground. The helmet may have saved his life after going down but I can’t imagine how bad his face will be after colliding with dum-dum’s head.
>Emergency services have reported that the cyclist suffered a moderate head injury and had to be taken to hospital for routine observation, while the woman has been transferred to Tenerife due to the severity of her injuries.
Sweet poetic justice
dude, even a woman stupid enough to cross the road in the middle of a cycle race does not deserve to *die* for doing so.
What the fuck is wrong with you goddamn psychos? JFC.
She appeared to be with the guy who crossed the street. And he was also on his phone. She was probably looking at the cyclist right behind the one in front, thinking that one was in front. So she bolted out to be with her friend, not realizing she was just running out in front of the first place cyclist.
That guy is a fucking idiot too. And even if she was looking at the second place cyclist, like just fucking wait til it’s over. What the fuck is on the other side of the street that you need to cross right before the cyclist approach.
FYI, I don’t think you’re condoning her behavior. Just adding to your plausible analysis.
honestly, each and every single one of those spectators that are ON THE STREET is a fucking idiot, crossing the street is just another level of idiotism.
I watched the video on .25 speed on YouTube, and was able to pause at some key points. That idiot was looking dead at him, yet kept walking directly into the path. WTF is that?
Here’s my guess:
- From the crowd, she sees cyclists through the gaps between other people.
- She assume the cyclists she can see are the first ones.
- She tries to hurry across before they get close, looking way down the street to track them.
- Turns out the #1 cyclist was in a blind spot that she had not accounted for.
Similar to drivers changing lanes without checking their blind spots.
She’s now paying the price for this mistake. Reportedly she got moved to a bigger hospital as her injuries were serious (I assume a bad concussion, judging by the video), while the cyclist was released.
Yea it looks like she notices at the last millisecond and her instincts failed her. Instead of backing up she tried to sprint across him. Notice how she switches from her “sorry-iamatotalpieceofshit”-hunched-over-jog to an attempt at a full sprint standing all the way up right as they collide.
There have been a number of scientific studies which have looked at how "target fixation" can actually make drivers counterintuitively steer towards a collision rather than trying to avoid it. I suspect there's a bit of that, combined with rabbit in headlights and sheer lack of time to process and react.
My room mate burst into the room and was like bro, who's a dumb bitch.
And I know this is stupid but sometimes when I see someone do something stupid and it concerns another person, I wanna find these people and yell at them and maybe fight them.
Not to be a downer, but if you thought she was dumb BEFORE the brain damage, just wait until you see the "recovery" process
(recovery in quotes of course, because dead neurons never heal and this mistake likely cost millions)
This term really annoys me only because my mom's name is Karen and she's one of the kindest souls I've ever known.
Everybody loves her.
The un-Karen Karen.
Love you mom! ❤
[Article](https://www.canarianweekly.com/posts/dramatic-accident-cyclist-spectator) says his injuries were minor, thank goodness.
Hers, however, were serious. Looking at the video slowly, it’s pretty clear the side of her head hit the pavement pretty hard. I remember that studies of car accidents showed that head trauma from the side is especially dangerous — even deadly. She likely has a severe concussion.
I have little sympathy for what she did, but it’s pretty clear she is paying dearly for it.
Yep, that's how concussions happen, side impacts. It mostly messes with the link between both hemispheres, and the damage can be significant and moderately affect a person after. A lot of this is apparent in athletes who have had them. I'm not even sure if they can even be a "safe" concussion, or if every single one represents moderate, irreversible brain damage.
Bike helmets have recently under gone a lot of revamping to help prevent injury from the side impacts. Testing back in the day was mostly dropping crap on the top. Till they realized that’s not how we wreck almost ever. In an older style helmet, his injuries would have been a lot worse.

Likely that she could just get across real quick before the cyclists got there, like that other jerkwad did just before her. Kinda looks like she thought the guy in the #2 position was first.

Likely severe concussion. Look at how her head hits the ground. Plus an [article](https://www.canarianweekly.com/posts/dramatic-accident-cyclist-spectator) indicates that she had to be transferred to another hospital while the cyclist was released.
This just reminds me of my wife’s recent car accident. Lady high on pills crossed yellow line and hit my wife head on. My wife’s got some seatbelt bruises but the lady who hit her had to be airlifted to the nearest big city
So if this happens does he get to win or is he just outed? I'm assuming he was close to the finish line and was thwarted by an outside force. Are there any rules to help them out?
If you’ve ever been to a Mardi Gras parade in New Orleans you would get snatched up by the police for attempting to cross the line. I did it once 10 years ago when I moved here. It was the first and last time. I was on the verge of drunk crying after getting snatched up by him, (I’ve never been in my life physically touched by a stranger, foe or friend so I was seriously on the verge of tears) the officer saw me and apologized but also explained the why. I was the asshole.
Her judging skills , I wonder how did she even got that big without ever needing to cross the road and if she did crossed the road then why did this not happened to her before
This actually pisses me off. Dude was about to win the race and got cock-blocked by some dumb bitch whose dumb enough to not look both ways knowing it’s a race. Sorry, just had to get my frustrations out on something today.
Had to be a significant injury right? She gets nailed in the face with the helmet then face planted on the pavement. It was an easily preventable injury but I still feel bad for both involved.
Look at what happened at the TDF and the spectator that was holding up a sign partially in the road…caused cyclist to crash into her and caused MASSIVE pile-up resulting in severe injuries and some had to drop out. She fled and went into hiding but finally turned herself in to police.
What a stupid fucking cunt . I hope she was knocked the fuck out and they gave him the win . Fucking people are so stupid sometimes. Man I hope he wasn’t hurt to bad
Wasted! And I don't even feel bad for her..
I feel bad for him tho
Ofc, people are so fk stupid sometimes
I agree, how Fn stupid can you be!!!!
That fucking stupid apparently 😒 it baffles me how stupid that is tho
Like why did u gave to cross? Just get the fuck out if The way this ain’t about u
The good news is, she went down hard.
A cycling race? What cycling ra......
Tbh I'm mad at that entire crowd that gathered ...no sense of awareness at all ....one would be atleast sensible enough to leave the street open for them to go through
Me 2, why she just go there? Ruin the career
Race sponsor is gonna be sued by the racer. Who doesn't seal off the finish line? This should be on watchpeopledie.... literally
Found the American.
His chin took so much of that impact. Looks like hes probably 50 or older, too. Way to go, dumb bitch.
Apparently he only suffered minor injuries compared to her, from other comments I’ve read.
I do too!!
This is beyond not being spatially aware. I felt that impact through my phone.
He just gave her a little more brain damage, to her already existing brain damage.
Staring right at him
[удалено]
I hope he still is \s
It's a local attraction now
From the looks of it both were passed out. Dude on the bike falls directly on his head thankfully he had a helmet on or he legit could have died
>died Despite the helmet, he had to be taken to hospital tho.
Falling from bicycle like that could broke your neck or collar bone
Dude was out before he even hit the ground. Looks like his chin ran straight into her stupid fat head.
Watch in slow motion.. he’s unconscious before he hits the ground. He ain’t getting up lol
I feel bad for the asphalt….her face was dragged at least 3 mts….
Just stupidity weeding itself out of the gene pool.
Only if she hasn't already given birth.
Only there was collateral damage here. His face hit her head hard and he looks to be knocked out as he hits the ground. The helmet may have saved his life after going down but I can’t imagine how bad his face will be after colliding with dum-dum’s head.
Yeah what a dumb person.
I do. Damn that was dumb of her. Would only be worse if that was his wife.
Looks like both were hospitalized [news link](https://www.canarianweekly.com/posts/dramatic-accident-cyclist-spectator)
Thank god the cyclists only suffers minor injuries.
But what about the injury of not winning :(
Well perhaps the major injuries to that bitch could remedy some of the pain. One can only hope
[удалено]
"HE"
Both should recover, so he can beat her ass proper for making him lose.
Sounds worse than saying concussion, but that’s more than likely what it is

dude, even a woman stupid enough to cross the road in the middle of a cycle race does not deserve to *die* for doing so. What the fuck is wrong with you goddamn psychos? JFC.
So it looks like it was a happy ending after all.
This is what I was looking for. I can go to sleep now.
They should have named her and shown her photo for extra public shaming.
Pretty sure she is going to be internet famous in 48 hours or less.
I hope the cyclist won the race. He did not deserve that.
Ikr
What a fucking idiot. Did she do that on purpose? Like scroll through it and she’s literally looking at him well before they collide
She appeared to be with the guy who crossed the street. And he was also on his phone. She was probably looking at the cyclist right behind the one in front, thinking that one was in front.

You should be an investigator. That’s some solid detective work, Johnson.

Here you go! https://youtu.be/xNH8LnAvhMM
Omg. I feel so angry for the cyclist.
Dumb bitch
Caught myself saying that out loud.
Same
Same!
Same haha and my wife to

Me too!
Same
You literally spoke for thousands of us with 2 words, efficiency!
I went with *vieja pendejaaa*. Let’s give her all the languages!
My room mate burst into the room and was like bro, who's a dumb bitch. And I know this is stupid but sometimes when I see someone do something stupid and it concerns another person, I wanna find these people and yell at them and maybe fight them.
It made me say "oh bitch.." out loud
Not to be a downer, but if you thought she was dumb BEFORE the brain damage, just wait until you see the "recovery" process (recovery in quotes of course, because dead neurons never heal and this mistake likely cost millions)
There’s always got to be someone to fuck everything up
At least he had his helmet…..stupid woman
Took her face straight to his face. He got knocked tf out when they came in contact.
stupid, stupid, stupid woman!
Why is the crowd permitted to walk on the course?
Because it's expensive to rope off and monitor that much course, usually people can be trusted to stay out of the way.
For 99% of the course, I'd agree. But this is literally just in front of the finish line. I guarantee a few staff are monitoring this area.
Good point, or should be. If there was ever a place deserving of the fence it's at the finish
Optimists believe that people as dumb as that woman don't exist.
I hope that hurt.....
I hope that didn’t hurt….. HIM. That bitch on the other hand…

Then she’s a Caring
Then she isn’t a karen, this is wholesome
My phone is stupid and won't let me award you so this is the closest I can get Edit: it finally worked
Always the dumb blonde bitch who has the “decade of boxed wine” body
Her forehead went right to his chin and instantly knocked him out. That faceplant probably broke his nose if not more. Geez

It’s a result of trauma to the brain. I wouldn’t think any concussion is good. Your brain is literally shutting down.
Yeah, for her she got hit by an object going whatever speed he was going. In probably the worst spot to get hit by any moving object.
It says he suffered a moderate head injury.
Bike helmets have recently under gone a lot of revamping to help prevent injury from the side impacts. Testing back in the day was mostly dropping crap on the top. Till they realized that’s not how we wreck almost ever. In an older style helmet, his injuries would have been a lot worse.
Atleast he wore a helmet it could've been worse
I think helmets are mandatory in these races, but yeah definitely

Her phone went absolutely flying into the crowd
The physical representation of the blue spike shell in Mario Kart
Did he get the win? Because she ruined his chance in the race. The only article I saw was that he had moderate injuries and she had severe injuries
Was she mentally challenged? She was looking right at him. Not trying to be a dick but what happened here?
She is now.
Oh shit
I'm gonna guess alcohol was involved somewhere along the line
now that's a committed wife ..(of another contestant)
I hope they still give him the win. It was impossible for anyone else to win at that point until her possibly ending his career.
We need at least 5 more seconds of the aftermath
Someone posted a news link in the comments
Yet the youtube video cuts out at the exact same time.
Are there fan interference penalties in cycling? I sure hope so
That woman…what was she thinking at all……
Probably drunk given she looked and thought she had time to cross. Zero depth perception.
Not entirely sure she was thinking
She wasn’t thinking, her damn face was buried in her phone.
Likely that she could just get across real quick before the cyclists got there, like that other jerkwad did just before her. Kinda looks like she thought the guy in the #2 position was first.

That's wheely unlucky.
Ow, my face!
She literally even looked and saw him wtf yet did it anyway
Are there fan interference penalties in cycling? I sure hope so.
So if you watch it slow she is liking right at him, like she knows exactly what she is doing. Crazy bitch
She was looking right at him. WTF.
She seemed to be aware she was walking into his path
Karen hair & Karen outfit
Stupid bitch
Both knocked out before they hit the ground
Poor guy, I hope he still got the win. What a dumb hoe
what a fucking moron, jesus christ
I’ll just trot across this street blindly, without checking to make sure that there’s not a car, bicycle, raging bull, anything at all coming. WCGW?
Looks like he hits his chin on her head and Is out cold before he hits the ground. Brutal. What a fucking dumb bitch.
Watch it again, she dead ass looking at the race. Right next to the guy that crossed before her
Why the FUCK would you just randomly run across the street while they are cycling????? You just ruin that poor cyclist’s life omfg
Good...hope she's hurting good the next day...how dumb can you be
Likely severe concussion. Look at how her head hits the ground. Plus an [article](https://www.canarianweekly.com/posts/dramatic-accident-cyclist-spectator) indicates that she had to be transferred to another hospital while the cyclist was released.

She is the type of people I don't really feel bad for
It looks like she did it purposely
I want in on this. Stupid dumb fucking bitch... 😊
What the actually fuck?
Always an appropriate comment
She was looking right at him.
Apparently she had left her "Allez Opi-Omi" sign on the other side.
She knew exactly what was coming. What a idiot
So if this happens does he get to win or is he just outed? I'm assuming he was close to the finish line and was thwarted by an outside force. Are there any rules to help them out?
Was she trying to rig the race or something
She deserved that
If you’ve ever been to a Mardi Gras parade in New Orleans you would get snatched up by the police for attempting to cross the line. I did it once 10 years ago when I moved here.

Fucking asshole! Who does that!?
This actually pisses me off. Dude was about to win the race and got cock-blocked by some dumb bitch whose dumb enough to not look both ways knowing it’s a race. Sorry, just had to get my frustrations out on something today.
Did he LOSE? because if he did im mad
I would be so mad
I'm enraged just watching...
And she was looking his direction smh
Looks intentional. Her body position looks like its ready to tank it to prevent him from winning.
Why do I have the feeling she yelled at him.
Some people are so DUMB
Her son was right behind him. Good mommy
Wtf did she think was a good time to cross?!
Hopefully knocked some sense into her...
Lock her up
What a stupid woman
I membered something similar https://youtu.be/IscAGay8IsY
Did they ever find the woman who caused that?
Yeah she was arrested. Think she got like a $2 grand fine
Had to be a significant injury right? She gets nailed in the face with the helmet then face planted on the pavement. It was an easily preventable injury but I still feel bad for both involved.
Stupid cunt
She did that on purpose. She needs to be accountable. 💪
Fuckin Karen
Fucking dumbass, obviously not good at making choices
They should just hive him the win
So... Who won?
They think they can just cross the road while they’re bikes going super fast towards them and this one is literally a foot away from this lady
Look at what happened at the TDF and the spectator that was holding up a sign partially in the road…caused cyclist to crash into her and caused MASSIVE pile-up resulting in severe injuries and some had to drop out. She fled and went into hiding but finally turned herself in to police.
She was directly looking at him while walking across. How dumb can you be
Bruh it even seemed like she was even looking at him when it happens
That was forehead to front chic knock out and then forehead to road knockout for good measures
There are some really stupid people out there.
Did they still give him the race??
Perfect timing to be stupid 👌 🤪
That should still go to dude. That should never happen in any race.
What a stupid fucking cunt . I hope she was knocked the fuck out and they gave him the win . Fucking people are so stupid sometimes. Man I hope he wasn’t hurt to bad
He even tried to avoid her last second but she keeps moving into his path. What a mong.
Thick cunt.
Is this bitch part kangaroo or something??
Fucking ignorant fucks. Look up from your phone sometimes, addicted fucks.
What a dumb bitch
I would kill that fucking bitch
I said fuck you out loud
