Pedestrian Killed + BVSD Partners + Longmont Cyclist Hit & Run

It's a rough edition today. So many pedestrian and bike fatalities to report. If you're walking or riding today, be careful out there. Our news coverage today feels like a theme, but it's just a coincidence that this line up fell into place. I guess the lesson is, if you're in a hurry to get someplace in your car, get off the phone and slow it down, please? We're all in this together.
