The San Diego cycling community still mourns the death of Hans Vichary, who was hit head-on by a truck which was passing another vehicle on a two-lane road (Highway 78 near Ramona). The initial newspaper report (mis?)quoted a California Highway Patrolman as saying that the driver "did nothing wrong," but the San Diego Bicycle Coalition and others were able to convince the CHP to cite the driver for unsafe overtaking/passing. I have not been able to find out what penalty this entailed.
