Cambridge Police report that a driver turning left onto Mason Street from Brattle Street slammed into a bicyclist around 8:54 a.m. yesterday.
The bicyclist hit the front of the vehicle and landed on the hood of the vehicle. The bicyclist suffered injuries to their left shoulder, and scrapes on their legs. The bicyclist was transported to the hospital for further evaluation. The motorist was issued a citation, and a crash report was taken.
That crash happened just 11 minutes after police also had to return to a less injuring crash at Brattle and Appleton streets, where a bicyclist apparently ran a stop sign and right into the driver's side door of a car. The bicyclist suffered facial injuries but declined medical attention, police say, adding officers issued no citations.

I'm going to guess you've run into a few doors yourself, apparently head-first and without a helmet.

Its such a low effort jab that reeks of abelism.
Its not ok when John Costello does it and it shouldn't be ok here too.

home or renter's insurance would cover this?
It’s good that the driver in the first crash …..

…. was given a citation at least. They often aren’t.
But they should not be allowed to drive until a judge decides they are competent to do so again.
In the second crash, a verbal warning should have been sufficient. It’s unlikely the cyclist will do that again. The pain and possible scarring from their facial injuries should insure that. The driver may have been spooked even if their car received no damage. But would it be worth it to sue for that?
