Two more bicyclists hit in Newton

The TAB's Dan Atkinson reports the frightening story of a biker hit, then trapped under a car on Comm. Ave., near the Marriott. The same day, a biker and car collided at the intersection of Beacon St. and Grant Ave.

The opening sentence suggests that the bikers were responsible for both incidents: "Two bicyclists collided with cars in separate incidents on May 27[.]" But, the account of the Comm. Ave. incident makes it clear that the driver just swerved into the biker.

Unfortunately, there was another one on Sunday. We drove by the aftermath on Walnut St. where it goes over the T tracks at Newton Highlands. Haven't seen any followup yet, so I don't know any more details.

nmHz - are you sure it involved a cyclist? The police report says "Ped".
