This happened last year, but it’s a reminder that “stray bullets” (i.e. moving vehicles) are still a danger to everyone.

    The fact that someone in a car crashed into that

    I did read the article. Show me where that fact was stated. Because it wasn’t, and that’s my complaint. All they had was was a 10 month old tweet with pole in the road.

      "In April, the family of Marciales created a ghost bike memorial in his honour. Ghost bikes are a reminder to both motorists and other cyclists of the tragic loss of a cyclist due to collisions from drivers. The white bike was chained to street light in the middle of the roadway, right where he was hit.

      On Sunday, someone noticed that a motorist had hit the memorial. “There’s been another crash at Balbo and lakeshore drive. Someone hit the light pole. Gerardo’s ghost bike and the pole are in the middle of the street,” Bike Lane Uprising tweeted."

      Emphasis mine. It was stated in the article.
