I find the language attributed to Joel DeSpain interesting: "the bicyclist collided with a small SUV" even though "she did not see the bicyclist until he was right in front of her". There isn't much detail to go on, but it seems significant that the bicyclist is attributed with the collision even though it sounds like he was struck by the MV. This doesn't mean the MV driver is at fault, but it's an odd nuance that seems to cast the responsibility on the cyclist. It's also notable that the 'bicyclist' (person) collided with the SUV (object), further removing the MV driver from the equation.
It's another terrible loss.
