Sad ,,,,,,,,,,,,,, "Just because you see a vehicle doesn't mean the driver sees you"! Blind spots, glare,
Especially when your riding at night, illegally without a light, and not waiting for the green light. Bikers think they have a special set of rules that allows them not to follow the laws. Sorry to see something like this happen, but this deputy is going to have to live with this the rest of his life.
@@Bwanar1 Sad for all involved. RIP.
I know a lot of people are struggling. But as a man, I would do whatever it takes (three jobs even), to make sure my wife wasn't out there walking/ riding or traveling alone at night.
Same thoughts I was having bro. Ain’t no way would I have my wife working at night and riding a bike home while I’m home with the child. I’d rather work multiple jobs
Oh stfu 🙄 how do you know the mf wasn't at his 3rd job when this happened.
you do know that as willing as you are, there are 24 hrs in a day... Do you not plan to sleep or spend time with wife/kid, and do you take into consideration of other time used such as travel time, food etc.
Maybe the husband is disabled and can’t work much
@@gshepherd6141 Not sure what your point is.
This is why I ride my bike on the sidewalk...I've already been hit twice by drivers!
30+ years ago, I was hit on the same stretch of frontage road areas (while riding my bike to and from work) twice in a few months. Both drivers sped off. Fun times, baby. 💪😎✌️ Humanity sure is classy!
I've been nearly hit on the sidewalk, too, on a number of occasions by drivers who don't feel the need to check that the sidewalks and crosswalks are clear as they are making a turn or pulling out of a driveway. Being on the sidewalk isn't a magic bullet.
I was on the shoulder and my neighbor who works for coca cola forced me to leave my bike so I didn't get hit. In his company vehicle with his kid in the car. Maniac.
As a walker on a sideWALK, I’ve had too many close calls with bikes. This is not the solution.
I can imagine your pocket must be deep by now
Where’s the dash cam video
It's definitely public records.. 🤔
Foia these days? You even walk in a sheriff's station asking and they will stomp a hole in your chest if they think something might cause them to be late for dognuts.
I don’t know about this case but I always see a lot of bikers carelessly on their safety
They have to do a better job enforcing traffic rules on bicyclists. I have at too many close calls with cyclists who straight up run a red light without even giving a thought to stop.
And now with electric bikes going 35+ mph, in the roads on the sidewalks, always following their rules.
Bicyclists thanks they own the road
@@altha-rf1et Ya thanks? Because I've seen motorists that go out of their way to harass bicyclists, and plenty others that drive with no regard for anybody but themselves.
What pisses me of is seeing old Drunkards riding their electric bikes on the side walk doing 30mph not giving a damned what they run into.
@@altha-rf1et They do. Tell us what it says in the Fla. drivers handbook about bicyclist riding on the road? BTW what do those yellow signs read along the roadway with the picture of a bike on it? Share the road?
Oh, shut up, police. Whatever they did, they defend each other and say police did nothing wrong 🤬
Every time. They investigate themselves and find they did nothing wrong and in this case screw the investigation even. They magically come up with or intimidate citizens to say whatever they need to get the media to blow them 💋 kisses
Riding a bike at almost midnight in the dark is dangerous- sorry for the family’s loss.
Yes. They make blinking lights just for bikes at night, you can't miss them they're really annoying to see.
She had no lights on her bike and road through a red light. 😢
@@MegaBored2 The fix is . Everyone needs to obey the laws. Laws only work if people follow them. It's that simple.
@@colleenpeck6347 My guess is that she's in a rush cause she couldn't wait to see her husband. Well now she would never see him again. Very sad.
@@VOAN I wonder why her husband let her ride a bike home at 11:30 every night that she worked with NO LIGHTS on her bike. I'm sure that he feels so guilty in his enormous grief. 😭
My heart goes out to her hubby and child omg that’s terrible. Condolences 💐
Where i live, they drive so fast and " me first aghressive", lights would only make a marginal difference.
Same here they drive like dum a
So heartbreaking. Many bicyclists and pedestrians do not understand the rules of the road. They assume they have the automatic right of way. Sometimes that’s a gamble that results in absolute tragedy.
If you ride your bike on the road, all the same traffic laws apply !
I get so aggravated at those who don't signal, don't stop, don't let pedestrians cross , use the pedestrian crosswalk, etc etc.
And those recumbant bikes should be outlawed !!
The Amish in our town are the only ones who pay any attention to the laws. They have my respect and my thanks.
Sorry for the rant, but it is a huge problem here !!
Condolences to this young lady's family.
Very sad
Why don’t you have lights and reflectors on your bike if you’re biking at night?
It's a law. So naturally, minorities ignore it. They dont read signs with rules either.
If this happened to any of us we would be sitting in jail. Did they preform any field sobriety test on the officer. If you work in construction and have an accident the first thing they do is drug test you. Did they drug test this officer or do officers get special treatment. Why do we hold a garbage truck driver to a higher standard than our police. Ridiculous to be excusing the officers actions saying he did abesoultely nothing wrong, abesoultely ridiculous to suggest that.
This is so sad! Prayers to the family!! 🙏🙏🙏
prayers do nothing, get an education
@@kotexconnection3804Sorry you weren't loved enough. Someone in life really hurt you for you to say that. That woman lost her life and her kids lost their mother. That officer should be in prison! Shame on you. And I have an education, probably a higher one than you. I know the law and the Constitution and my civil rights!! Do you!? Probably not
where's the dashcam?
Cops in Bradenton and Sarasota are ALWAYS speeding for no reason like bro? There is barely any crime here take it easy ! Geez, same with firefighters dudes over react it’s ridiculous
So sad
I want to see the dash cam from the deputy’s cruiser.
Tired of people trying to make money off of sad situations.
It slowly makes everything more expensive too, as well as the eventual increase in taxes.
Doesn’t sound like they can sue under the circumstances, I worked at Walmart and rode my bike but I had front, back lights plus I had LED lights on both wheels. Condolence to the family so sorry for your loss.
I feel so sorry for the family of the woman and the poor officer. He must be devastated
So they first not blame the rookie cop . Yet said he was responding to a call and they said he was driving the speed . I seriously doubt that. All heresay . An no video from the patrol car or anox bodycam or street cams . Just straight up blame the victim . I want to see all the video especially from the bodycam and dash cam . We don't believe those by their word anymore after all those officers failed in uvalde . An after seeing many bad cops caught planting evidence and tampering with evidence. We want to see all of the proof . Not just words from the officers .
This is so sad… RIP pretty Mama.
In Europe, there are concrete barriers separating cars and bicycles. In America, separating cars and bicycles by a painted stripe two feet from speeding cars is insane.
Even pre-war Europe had a strong cycling attitude which continues to this day. of course, the American oil, gas, rubber and automobile industries killed mass transit and also frown on bicycling as it does not enrich them. Read the story of National City Lines, the largest transportation system in the country that was bought out by Firestone and GM then shut down. Sadly, the U.S. is controlled by big business and greed whereas Europe still has some modicum of decency. RIP to the lady, tough break.
Roadways are made for autos. No way would I trust the roads for my safety.
bikes are ment to be walked across the street get off and use the crosswalk like you are supposed to you are not supposed to ride on a crosswalk anywhere
This is why having lights on your bike is the law!
I ride a e-bike. Most of my small town is 30 mph. My bike will do 30 mph even though Class 3 bike is limited to 28 mph(it should be at least 30).
When I ride in a 30 mph zone, most people want to do 35 or 40 and are riding my tire and gives me no other option to ride the 2 foot cement shoulder too let them pass.
Yes there is bicyclist that think they own the road going way under the limit and slowing down traffic.
It seem to me that most cars think I own the road even if I am doing speed limit.
I have a bright motorcycle light, tail light and blinking red lights, rear mirror and still worried I will get hit because of so much distracted /drunk driving.
Dashcam??
😢😢😢. It’s very sad to ride a bike to and from work..
Dang it people, put lights on your bike.
Twenty bucks at WalMart.
White up front, red out back.
Prayers for her family and friends. May God give each the strength to get through this difficult time. I'm so sorry. Also prayers for the officer. It must be so horrible even if it was an accident to know you caused a death.
Sending Prayers to her family and the deputy. 😢
prayers do nothing, religious people are so stupiid
I live across from the Walmart in Osprey and unfortunately I see it all the time people darting across the road when they should not do it. My prayers go to the family and the Deputy.
I'm sure she's probably made that journey many times and hasn't thought twice about it but that's part of the point ☝️. We're sorry for her and the deputy as well as their families. Let nothing go by that you cannot learn from.
We need to see video camera
Thoughts for Diana's family and to the 25yr old kid deputy.
Of course, the cops investigation of them selves leads to not guilty .. believe nothing they say at times like this.
They should fix that Dagon highway it’s dangerous
Family is set for life! She probably came her e on Joe’s open border program and this family got more than they bargained for. Imagine that. 🙄
Cops always have excuses, that us regular citizens don't...
I wonder who got bought this time.
How sad 😢
Very sad
I'd never ride a bike on a Main Street.
Respectfully; haven't we learned to wait for video and facts before we assign blame? Experienced in the busy tiad & in a bike, she'd likely be most cautious about traffic. ...
I don’t understand how this could happen. The road is very well lit… was he on his phone? I doubt she jumped in front of his car..
SAFTEY ON THE ROAD MEANS BICYCLES DO NOT BELONG IN TRAFFIC PERIOD.
I agree with you so long as you support public funds of bike dedicated roadwork
@@fitzt70 I see people on bikes riding against traffic all the time even with bike designated routes.
People who type in all caps don't belong behind the wheel of a car.
@@BufordDuckworthWell said. Very well said.
@@BufordDuckworth Some people have poor vision and use caps to see typos. If it bothers some thats sad.
It’s never the deputy…..smh!
You can’t beat the mafia
If you paid attention you would have heard the part where there were witnesses.
I want to see the dashcam..
Yes! If we are all going to blame the cyclist without evidence that is necessary to prevent future accidents
It's not an accident
When they immediately blame the victim. Sounded like to me they called it a ritcheous kill.
Even under what we might call normal conditions, you still have to go out of your way to ensure safety rules the day. We're sorry for the loss of her life, prevention isn't just a word used in law enforcement it is something we can do in our lives every day. God bless her and may the Lord keep her.
I come from a state that enforces bicycle lights at night… Perhaps enforcement down here would also save some lives.
Oh my god 😮💔
So sad… turn from wickedness today! Call on Jesus Christ right now!
Prayers for all involved 🙏
*If god is all-knowing he knew this would happen.
*If god is all-powerful then he could have prevented it.
*If god is all-loving he would have prevented it.
It's gross that you're praying to the guy who watched this happen and disnt lift a finger.
Sad situation coming home from work too.
_Also,_ it was (or at least _had been)_ *raining.* (The ground is wet.) Glare from the road could also have been one of the reasons why he didn't see her.
RIP Dayana 💔😢🕊
The cop could have at least stepped on the brake pedal.
Green light does not mean go, it means peoceed with caution.
Idk everything that happened. But honestly I’ve had people come in front of me either walking or a couple times on a bike. Honestly I was always able to break. They should show us the dash cam. I love good cops but I’m sorry many of them I don’t trust. I’m sad for her family man this is terrible
Soooo said.😢.
It's always the other persn's fault, never the police. Been there done that with them
Absolutely heartbreaking my condolences to the family and I hope the officer can heal and understand this was not his fault
FOIA anyone? Might be worth getting the dash cam since he was responding to a call.
So, she did not use a crosswalk. Or walk it across the street at a crosswalk. Crosswalks are not old and outdated.
Very sad, as a cyclist I use my bright LED headlight and tail lights even in the day time. I also always wear a helmet. I also obey traffic lights.
TThat's really sad.
IT'S NOT THE INTERSECTIONS FAULT. SERIOUSLY.
Poor Lady but she shouldn’t riding that bike that late❤❤❤ my condolences my God, I be praying 🙏 for her family.
She was leaving work ffs
prayers do nothing, you can pray in private, you only post them to seek attention
@@kotexconnection3804 You need help .
@@Floridamancan she also blasted through a red light and didn't have any reflective gear. Is the excuse for that also "she was leaving work ffs"?
might had been their only transportation,
How fast was the vehicle going? Were lights and sirens being used? Those are bigger factors than her not having the right of way.
does not matter the lights was red on her green for the police officer so she should not have been crossing the road
@@altha-rf1etif he was going over the speed limit without a siren he’s cooked, that’s why you don’t see any dash cam video being show rn they are working on changing stuff… and you are listening to what happened from the cops perspective since the victim can’t speak disgusting
@altha-rf1et mo mo. He meant did the officer have his lights and siren on gomer.
Did she have lights on her bike? What was she wearing?
I hope they get the cameras and not just let this accident be swept under the rug. Police are to follow the laws also know matter if they are going to a scene.
Prayers for all involved! Please put lights on your bike and only ride on the CROSSWALK when it says to walk.This is for pedestrians too. Please do not think the car will be able to see you in the dark or during the day.
prayers do nothing, you can pray in private, you only post them to seek attention
@@kotexconnection3804 Go get help, please
All the lights and reflection in the world won't help when a cop is rushing somewhere to get his gun off.
don't police cars have cameras?
Yeah, people really need to follow the traffic rules even if you are on a bike. I see people going against the traffic lights and stop signs often in my area. I was driving to work last night and some kids with no reflective vest or flashing lights front and back where playing on the road with their bikes. Sad what happened to this lady but you have to follow the rules. Rules, crossing lights, and stop signs are there for a reason.
Perfect sign of a narcissist, now it's all about you.
Pedestrians always have the right of way. Unless you’re a cop. Then you can do whatever you want.
sorry for the family, this is reason why people need to get good term life insurance especially if they are married and have kids,, not to sound like some commercial but she could had gotten 500K of life insurance for $20.00 a month this would had been a big help for her husband
Just a sad situation all the way around.
I've never known a cyclist to obey traffic laws or use common sense.
Where’s the dash cam?
Exactly speaking with no evidence in had is disgusting
Then maybe ride on the sidewalk? Or just dont ride your bike at night?
No light's on the bike crossing on a Red light. Stop blaming the police.
It is why be careful when it comes to high speed pursuit
The woman speaking about the Police Officer of course no one wants to die nothing to do with him being a Police Officer so why go there?
May God shine his fav upon her soul for all eternity and bring consolation to her family. Amen
Mooooove B git out the way
Dashcam video of the incident, id rather see that before believing the police, they have lied before on incidents like that, i just dont blindly believe them without any other information
"You have died from DEI..."
So sorry for BOTH the family and for the Sheriff. What a tragedy
Bike riders on public roads are under the same laws as any other vehicle! You drive WITH traffic, stop at signs & red lights etc. She probably had no night safety lights or reflectors on her bike, most don't & that's on them.
That’s what was sad. No lights probably basic reflector you can only see on the front and back.
Bicycles do not Operate on the same laws mo mo. They have right away. They teach you that starting in kindergarten.
@@caledoniawarrior bicycles do not have the right-of-way. They have to follow traffic control devices as cars do.
Bikes have no business in the road. I do not care about the law, they do not belong in the road.
I would have it checked out. I had a sheriff run me off the road and into a curb once. He denied it but his boss made him buy me a new tire. Check the cameras.
The guy says that intersection is dangerous, so many accidents and people getting hurt. I disagree, the intersection is fine, just stupid people ignoring traffic laws,
🙏🏻
Sad but she was at fault
You know bikes arnt a main way of transportation these days kinda like horses. Why are they on the road? There’s a better way I’m sure like over passes for bikes at intersections and maybe bigger sidewalks or “bike paths”. Idk. I went to public school.
😢
Please educate yourself on bicycle rules of the road before you go out there and use it as your mode of transporation to/from work.
So sad but you gotta wear bright clothing and lights on a bicycle, especially knowing there be accidents there all the time . Her death could of easily been prevented if she didn't go on red also smh .
Yea she had NOTHING on her bike. Very dangerous.
So FHP means to say, if a refrigerator fell off a truck for instance the deputy has no control of his vehicle enough to avoid it ?
The deputy better slow down then, RIGHT ?
Lying FHP ……..
I like how everyone on this post has made it perfectly clear that it is not the deputies fault. even though the deputy hit her. the bike clearly has reflectors. the road has a bike lane. and his Deputy wasn't paying attention. but let's just be clear. this Deputy that hit this person on the bike. is in no way responsible for hitting this person on the bike.
they said the bike didn't have reflectors.
Deputy had a green light and she was crossing against the red. And she didn’t have any lights.
I reckon I'm not a part of everyone.
@@leftylou6070 So let's just be clear here. okay sooooo the deputy that hit the person on a bike in no way is responsible for hitting the person on the bike. I just had to double down on that to make sure we had that straight. Your double standard is responsible for the diminishing respect of the doj. Pedestrians have the right of way at all times. They teach us this in kindergarten.,,So I'm sorry no just because your lights don't have a certain flicker or you don't like me being 1 mm over a particular line does not give you the right to Mu**er me in traffic. sorry. You're only right behind the wheel in the State of Florida is the right to yield.
@@leftylou6070 I'm not saying it was intentional. but he is 110% responsible.
I do wanna see the video tho
Like pigs says that pig was on responding a call so did he have lights and sirens on? Couldn't she hear or see pigs cruser was coming at a high speed?
*bikers don't stop at stop signs at all* 🔜💀
