Clark, a freshman Democrat from Baraboo, was ticketed by Madison police for running a red light on Aug. 18. The video, released this week by Madison Metro, shows the cyclist riding into the intersection two blocks from the Capitol after the light turned green. About two and a half seconds later, Clark enters the intersection in an SUV and slams into the biker."

"Ew!" the driver of the bus reacts in horror. The one-minute video ends shortly thereafter. Clark can be seen exiting his vehicle, the crumpled bike behind his rear passenger side wheel.

I can't believe they named him as a democrat. I thought only republicans were named in the paper or "democrat" would be left out. Will the bicyclist be covered by the state of Wisconsin. Who's gonna pay? We hope to God the bicyclist is OK.
