Ambulance vs bicycle

[ProudFireWife]

A man who dedicated many years of his life to the fire service, steps down from his position because some yahoo is riding a bike at 40 mph, and not watching what is in his path. My heart goes out to the firefighter and his family, and I wish them the best in working through this.

You obviously missed the content of the incident. It was a bike race, you don't win a race by going slow. The ambulance driver misjudged the speed of the bike and cut in front of him.

Am I missing something? What story are we speaking of? A little info would be nice....
