Rachel Atherton suffered a disclocated shoulder after colliding with a truck at the beginning of a ride Sunday afternoon with her brothers Dan and George.
Atherton said she was pedaling with her head down around a corner and looked up to see a pickup coming at her.  Both she and the truck swerved in the same direction, and Atherton hit the passenger side windshield.
Her team manager, Dan Brown, said her new Cervelo road bike took the brunt of the damage, which is fortunate, because she was reportedly NOT wearing a helmet…WTF?
According to California Highway Patrol, Atherton was at fault for the accident because she rode into the wrong lane.  Get the full story on The Mercury News.
