A cyclist who was struck and killed in a hit-skip crash on the city s East Side has been identified as a 23-year-old East Side man.
According to Columbus police, 23-year-old Franklin Johnson Jr. was found lying on East Broad Street near Cardinal Park Drive around 7:30 a.m. Jan. 9. Johnson was pronounced dead at the scene.
An investigation determined Johnson was riding a bicycle eastbound in the right lane of East Broad Street when he was struck from behind by a car.
The car and its driver did not stay at the scene. Police later located a vehicle they believe could have evidentiary value and impounded it.
Flowers use scents to attract bees and other organisms to carry their pollen from one place to another. People use flowers to make perfumes and colognes. If you were living at the time of the dinosaurs, could you have made perfume?
Recently, the paleontology journal Historical Biology had a paper titled “The antiquity of floral secretory tissues that provide today’s fragrances,” authored by George Poinar and Greg Poinar, two Oregon State University experts on amber.
