Verry sad story. Prayers and thoughts for his family and friends. Has me rethinking putting off the purchase of a YJA.

:/ My heart goes out to any family/friends of the cyclist.. and on that note, why the hell do we allow people to drive 2 ton vehicles in the dark?

This story has me sick. This happened a few miles from my house and I've ridden through that intersection many times. This was completely avoidable. The driver was impaired.
This slide show of photos from the accident site is chilling and heartbreaking.

My deepest sympathy to the family and friends of the victim.

Very well lit intersection with the cyclist in full reflective gear and with lights and an impaired driver. Love to see how the bike haters will spin this one.

I went through that intersection this morning to pay my respects. There was a nice memorial set up on the corner with a sign and flower and candles burning. May he rest in peace.

Please provide any updates. Looking at the report, photos and video; this appears to be a head on collision.
