DEKALB COUNTY, Ga. — A father and daughter are accused of assaulting a 13-year-old cyclist after he told them to watch out for cyclists on the road.
…
Hartley, a competitive cyclist who trains every day with a daily 10-mile round trip, said a white pickup truck came within a foot of him and passed by. Hartley said he met up with the truck at the next stop light and noticed the driver looking at his phone and texting.
"I just tapped him and said, ‘You almost hit me back there. Could you put the phone away?’ And he told me, ‘Pull over.’ He was going to talk to me," Brody Hartley said.
Brody said he pulled over at a gas station just up the road and pickup truck driver, 45-year old William Tinnell, got out of the vehicle, enraged.
“He was just saying I shouldn’t be on the road, it’s not a vehicle. I shouldn’t be on the road because I’m a kid," Hartley said.
