For those unfamiliar with the Detroit area -- this occurred on Woodward Avenue, the broadest throughfare in the state, and yes, home of the Woodward Dream Cruise. It is well-traveled and has plenty of room for both motorists and bicyclists. There's no excuse for this.

Rest in peace to a Detroit bike commuter. Royal Oak is a good place to ride around, by Detroit's standards. Car was a 2008 Jeep Liberty, White in color
