I saw the car soon after it happened (about 3PM- just west of Wheelhouse). It was a black BMW and it was very smashed up. It looked like it had to be going a lot more than 35MPH. It was in the bike path when I saw it, and there was another blue car( slightly damaged ) on the other side of the road.The state troopers were there, but I didn't see any of the people.

i had a customer come into the market while i was at work, said the bimmer was doing 80+mph, while i doubt the vehicle was going that fast on 30-a, seeing the amount of damage when i left work at 2:30, he had to have been flying

I don't know about 85mph, but the front end was seriously crumpled;guy looked like he had to been going well over 35 mph. I couldn't figure out how he/she accomplished the feat.

From what I heard the guy in the blue vehicle had stopped to let a bicycle/pedestrian cross. The BMW apparently didn't see him stop and rear-ended him sending him into the bicyclist. The BMW looked totaled to me so he must have been traveling significantly greater than the speed limit.
Driver was trying to commit suicide or something
I was kind of testing the waters to see if it had come out in the news/paper yet, but I talked to someone who was involved and she is actually the person who he rear-ended first up near the Tom Thumb. He then pulled up beside her, rolled down his window and looked at her with a blank stare and took off into the other lane and gunned it. He weaved in and out of traffic going really fast, hitting the guy on a bike and then he was "thankfully" stopped when he hit the blue suv with a family in it who had stopped at the cross-walk near the bike rental place. Nobody was seriously hurt thank the Lord, but someone at the scene said he told them he had taken 50 Xanax and was trying to kill himself. His car did end up being totaled, which sound about right because it was smashed pretty badly. All tolled, six cars were involved and don't know about the driver. He went off in the ambulance.
Unbelieveable!

Very sad. Saw it riding my bike. To bad this individual was so selfish that he had to involve others.
