And welcome back to the factory
uncensored Houston's growing
biking community is mourning
tonight after the loss of a
rider investigators say forty
five year old Shane McKinney was
part of a by group when he was
hit and killed by a driver who
fled the scene they're looking
for a silver key class Mercedes
that happen in the Montrose area
McKinney was part of the pride
ride here in Houston it's the
same group we covered here on
the factor last month for their
drag queen Reid Shane McKinney
was there that day and in this
video we spoke with David Laredo
who heads the pride right here
in Houston. There was a
collision between one of our
writers and a vehicle- BL at the
front of the line we really
don't see the commotion that
occurs in the back but I was
told to pull over and that's
when we saw a car speed by being
that were on the you know a busy
street you know it like thousand
Montrose. We see cars all the
time I pay no mind to it and it
was that's when I understood the
car that sped off. Is the car
that- basically collided with a
writer- it is my understanding
contact there was the first
strike between the writer in the
vehicle. And then the second
strike was the rear tire running
the road vehicles need to slow
down everyone has a
responsibility to follow the
rules of the road and be safe
you know again as a cyclist like
David said we have a
responsibility to ride
predictably. To ride you know
correctly and everything but
also there are laws that you
know vehicles need to give a
space give us. Now don't just
give us three feet give us more
it's not a lot you don't give us
the respect and understand that
there are people who use other
forms of mobility and is
vulnerable road users.
Absolutely have every right to
share the road. Now we're also
told a second cycle is was hit
last night. In the group I
actually ride with on Tuesday
and Tuesday nights but thank god
he is okay. And here on the
factor to talk about it. You
know he came in contact with me.
I had no knowledge was behind me
like that and- you know I got
hit- you know. I'm glad I'm
alive- you know the rest of the
people that was injured that
same night. And you know
unfortunately you know they
didn't make it. I did- is this
something to do. We have to look
at. I believe you know we need
to- have a talk about it as
well- in the community by
community. And I was actually
out there last night but I
actually missed that incident
now we will start. Talking about
thirty on the fact around since
it we will hold a round table
discussion to address the
dangerous relationship. Between
