| [NYPOST] A New Jersey councilwoman allegedly hit a cyclist with her SUV and knocked him off his bike— then sped away without stopping, according to reports and stunning footage. Jersey City councilwoman Amy DeGise was captured on camera slamming into Andrew Black at 8 a.m. on July 19, causing him to fly over vehicle’s hood and fall to the ground, according to hudpost.com. "I look left, suddenly I just hear ’Ba[m].’ I get hit," said Black, a 29-year-old UberEats deliveryman. "I roll over and I’m in such pain." Instead of stopping to help, the politician drove away from the intersection of Martin Luther King Drive and Forrest Street in a Nissan Rogue, said Black, who was able to stand up shortly after the accident. Black didn’t suffer any major injuries — but is angry that a community leader failed to do the right thing. |

| #6 I rode in opposing direction for a bit but it felt too uncomfortable. Walk mostly now but allow big distance from traffic. I remember a wheel chaired man on corner run over by dual rear wheeled truck. Most accidents or many are when backing up over people. |

| #5 I stopped riding bicycles. Too many cars. But when I did, I never relied on them seeing me. I always looked for them. |

| #4 And likely had reduced visibility from the car parked in the crosswalk. Cyclists seem to have a hard time understanding that the laws of court follows after the laws of physics. Share the road, share the rules. Cannoli ran the stop light. |

| #3 It's not hitting the car that's the painful part; it's when you hit the ground. Trust me on that one. |
