Peter Visconti III ghostbike at Grant and Columbus
Peter Visconti III was killed on October 17, 2004 when riding across Grant Avenue at Columbus. A driver going west on Grant ran the red light and struck him directly at high speed. The driver later turned himself in but insisted he wasn’t the person who hit Visconti, despite numerous witnesses who said otherwise.
The top picture shows the ghostbike being sunk into the ground by P. at the corner of Columbus and Grant. The bike was donated by BICAS and prepared and installed by volunteers who never met Peter. Nevertheless, they send their best wishes to his family and loved ones, and hope this installation will remind drivers to be more careful.
