Back in July of last year, Terry McMacken was bicycling across the Ballard Bridge when he bumped into the low concrete barrier and rocketed into traffic. He was hit by a car and ended up losing his right arm. Today the Seattle PI reports that McMacken died from injuries sustained in the crash. He was 51. The McMacken family, who lives in Magnolia, has sued the city of Seattle over that concrete barrier, which you can see here in this photo. Some bicyclists have complained to the city that it poses an unnecessary risk. (Thanks Brian for the link.)
