Interesting that it's listed as an "MV/Ped" crash. When I got hit, almost ten years ago now, it was categorized as such, even though I was going aprx. 20 MPH in the middle of my lane. I contacted the reporting officer about this, and she was able to change the description, but evidently she couldn't change the "category" or "type" of crash. Gotta wonder how many times this happens, and what impact it has on any statistical analysis of traffic crashes involving bicycles.
