Santander de Quilichao, Colombia :Ana Cecilia Vásquez Gómez, 65 years old, was identified as the teacher who died after being hit by a motorcyclist in the municipality of Santander de Quilichao, Cauca.
The tragic accident occurred on the afternoon of Sunday, December 1, when the woman was crossing the street and at that moment a motorcyclist hit her and, as a result of the force of this collision, threw her onto a pole, which caused her death.
"Unfortunately, the woman did not survive and died on the spot, while the motorcyclist ended up lying on the street, and was later taken to the hospital. We were able to confirm that the latter is a delivery man, who apparently did not see the woman when she was traveling on Carrera 11 and Calle Séptima, and possibly did not manage to maneuver because she was going at high speed," said witnesses of the accident.
Later, when the authorities began to verify the case, they confirmed that the victim was a retired physical educator from the University of Caldas who would have turned 66 years old on December 13.
"She was single and was in charge of taking care of her mother, who is 98 years old, an excellent daughter, sister, and an exceptional aunt, so it was painful to find out how she died," said her loved ones when they said that this Wednesday, December 4, they will bid Ana Cecilia Vásquez Gómez a final farewell.
Following this tragic accident, some journalists from this municipality asked local authorities to increase controls to prevent drivers of cars and motorcyclists from causing this kind of tragedies by not complying with traffic regulations, including not exceeding the speed limits allowed in urban areas.
"The town is in total disarray, you don't see any controls being carried out on so many motorcyclists here, everyone is driving like crazy and look at the results, the poor lady got the worst of it from someone who possibly didn't measure the consequences of driving at full speed," said Alejandro Hernández, a journalist from Quilichagua.

She looked left befor crossing the - possibly one lane direction -street, but her view was abstructed by the big silver pick up. Therefor she could not see the speeding biker and vice versa.
I think the speeding biker is to blame mostly as he went high speed while not being able to break in time, as he could not see through the obsticale and just assumed he can travel on.
Jail time: 3 to 5 years

Of course he's to blame. If he would have hit another vehicle there would have been no question about his guilt. Not sure why folks have such a hard time processing data when it's a person.

I'm trying to picture whether this would have happened to me. I would surely have started Crossing, but I'm not sure if my instincts would have made me uncomfortable continuing to cross without looking after the truck passed

Years of watching things like this has us all looking at that truck to see what's behind it as we hurry across (inside a crosswalk of course).

Don't know what she taught, but it sure was not, "how to keep you eyes out for traffic when crossing the road."
