Woman in 24th ave bike crash: ‘All in all, I am okay’

We don’t always get the opportunity to update you on what happens after our reports on CHS. Stories of “serious conditions” and “life threatening injuries” are sometimes all we get as we cover the news of Capitol Hill. But after we reported that the man injured in Sunday night’s serious truck vs. pedestrian accident on 12th Ave was in improving condition, we also have relatively good news about an incident we reported on in the first week of July when a woman was struck by a car while riding her bike on 24th Ave. Here’s an update on her condition posted by her to the CHS comments. We also now can share her name. Meet Holli Lyons:

I am the woman that was hit on the bike. I am okay. I have a broken arm and a contusion on my left leg. I am sufferring from a traumatic brain injury, but all in all, I am okay. I have no recollection of the accident at all. And I do hope, that the family that hit me are okay as well. Thank you everyone for your thoughts and concerns about my well-being.

And the driver was at fault, as I had the right of way. They were taking a left at a green light and I was going straight, according to the police report.

We also have found an expired Seattle Craigslist ad posted by Lyons in June: She was selling her ancient 1987 Honda Accord.

One of the best things about local news blog reporting–updates on things that would otherwise just fall into a mysterious black hole.

Glad to hear that Holli is recovering & hope she heals up quickly.
