Official site to confirm any last minute details
How to find us:
In front of the Broadview Apartments near the intersection with 39th St.
We are gathering at the site where Hopkins engineering student Nathan Krasnopoler was hit on Feb. 26th. Everyone is welcome to attend. His father, Mitchell, will say a few words. We will then bike to Johns Hopkins Hospital, where Nathan still lies in a coma. There, we will read Psalms according to the Jewish tradition (refuah shlemah) and show our support for a member of our bicycle community.
From the Mayor’s Bicycle Advisory Committee list serve:
This is not a memorial… it’s to be a gathering because of the crash involving Nathan Krasnopoler, to pray for a speedy and full recovery.
It’s 5:30 Wednesday, 03/09/2011 at 39th Street and University.
Please spread the word.
BCPD confimed the accident occured at a driveway on 100 W Univ P. not at the 39th st I-sect. Also that charging decisions wont be made until BCPD offic. Anthony Browns accident investigation team has completed the accident reconstruction and report and then it will be a joint decision with the States Attorney’s office.
BUT…every one I talked to at BCPD made it sound like they were going through the motions and either highlighted that the driver was 83yo or stated that Nathan "T-boned" her turning car, as if the point of collision alone determined fault.
