Something fails me here.......how is it that a right-hook ultimately resulting in death(but hopefully not), can actually be called a 'collision'? When it was not head-on or a t-bone. Also, How does referring to it that way, benefit cycling at large, when the death in question, is another example of a motorist not paying attention. Cyclists' don't appear out of thin air. It is not like cyclists' have a 'mobile' transporter like the one in Star Trek to beam them into situations where death and the driver saying 'I didn't see her/him' is imminent. Situations like this(and many more) are tantamount to riding a 'ghost bike', before the fact. Also a motorist with a 'me first' attitude.
