ST. PETERSBURG - It was a beautiful Sunday morning, and several dozen bicyclists moved two abreast like a caterpillar through the residential streets of St. Petersburg.

Kip Vosburgh was near the back of the pack when he heard screams, looked up and saw a Lincoln Continental mowing down the cyclists, spraying them over the hood, onto the street and into the gutter.

"It was almost like Moses and the Red Sea was parting," Vosburgh said. "Then I was looking right at the grille of the car."

Vosburgh was flipped over the hood and into the gutter, his leg and arm broken.

He was one of about 20 cyclists hit, 13 of of whom were hospitalized. Three were in serious condition Sunday night. The others were in fair condition or were treated and released.

The driver, Joseph D. Pastore, 60, of Pinellas Park, told police he was trying to pass another car when he plowed into the line of bikes. Police are investigating whether Pastore, who carried a cane and has disability license plates, was impaired or suffered from a medical condition.

Pastore, who was released from Ed White Hospital after the crash, declined to speak to reporters. No charges were filed, though an investigation continues.
