These huge vehicles speeding around make it difficult for those who are striving for a lower impact lifestyle. How awful for this victim and his family. I wish Briana the embrace of her family, friends and community, and that, as time goes on, she may thrive in the face of this adversity. What senseless tragedy.

I didn't know him long, but he and I always laughed through the hard stuff. My prayers are with his daughter, friends and family and I always remember him with true fondness. We met at the Bay Area Pain and Wellness Center and I know he was trying his best to improve his life for himself and his daughter. God Bless.

Living car-free in suburban Los Gatos while raising a daughter as a single parent is a whole other category of commitment. What a loss. Living car-free in San Francisco is commendable.

Really sad. Especially because these sorts of deaths are so easily preventable. Although nothing can ever replace a father, I hope that Briana gets the support that she needs.

Briana... pulling for you and praying for you. One day, perhaps you'll consider transportation planning and become an advocate for better streets.

I am so sorry. I am also so mad. But this is not the place for that. Too hard on the brakes again What if these brakes just give in? What if they don't get out of the way? What if there's someone overtaking? I'm going out for a little drive And it could be the last time you see me alive There could be an idiot out on the road The only kick in life is pumping his steel Wrap me up in the back of the trunk Packed with foam and blind drunk They won't ever take me alive 'Cause they all drive... killer cars. This is completely tragic. I am so sorry.

I am also so mad. But this is not the place for that.

Too hard on the brakes again
What if these brakes just give in?
What if they don’t get out of the way?
What if there’s someone overtaking?
I’m going out for a little drive
And it could be the last time you see me alive
There could be an idiot out on the road
The only kick in life is pumping his steel

Wrap me up in the back of the trunk
Packed with foam and blind drunk
They won’t ever take me alive
‘Cause they all drive… killer cars.
