Man crushed underneath cement truck "not wearing a helmet."

This is not something I like being prescient about. Back in September of 2007 I wrote this article in which I chastised the media for always bringing up the helmet issue, even in cases where "some poor soul has been squashed by a cement truck."

Well guess what. Some poor soul (name not yet released) was literally squashed by a cement truck in Santa Cruz this week. And the paper has this to say: He was not wearing a helmet.

Ridiculous, huh?

It turns out it was a gravel truck hauling 4 tons of sand, but same difference for the cyclist.
