Man convicted in orange rabbit pedicab hit-and-run

PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — The Mercedes driver testified he didn’t see the 6-foot-tall orange rabbit driving a pedicab because he was fumbling for a dropped cell phone.

Pedicab driver Kate Altermatt tells The Oregonian she finds that hard to believe, noting she was wearing a bright orange bunny suit _ for Easter _ and her Cascadia Pedicab was lit up with reflectors and a blinking red light.

So there you have it - "Sorry, Mate, I Didn’t See You (SMIDSY), although you were dressed as a giant orange rabbit and riding a large, brightly lit pedicab. I was doing something more important than paying attention to the road - looking for my cellphone. Because, like, it was a really important call I was in the middle of".

Y’know, when I put it like that, it all makes a weird sort of sense.
