I wanted to comment on the accident at Lakeview and Sayre in Nice (“Bicyclist hurt in collision alleged to have been drunk,” Lake County News, April 28).

Most of my neighbors and I don't think that the bicyclist's intoxication was as much at fault as other safety factors at that intersection.

People in cars and kids on bikes cut that corner all the time. There are no line delineating lanes.

The corner has so much heavy vegetation that nobody traveling in either direction on Lakeview can see oncoming traffic until they're in the intersection. The only sign to yield is on Sayre.

I've contacted the county Department of Public Works and they're going to take a look at it.

In the meantime, it just seems like an oversimplication to blame the bicyclist's impaired condition when kids on bikes and many other drivers are just as careless.

I think it was really only a matter of time until someone got hit. Too bad it wasn't two cars instead of a truck and a bike.
