At first I thought he was making a left turn, and got hit by the cop going straight coming the other direction.

But now it sounds like they cyclist was heading to, or in the left turn lane and was rear ended by the police car.

Apparently the cyclist may have been heading to a left turn only lane, but was crossing the street perpendicular to the flow of traffic. The collision happened 40 feet or so short of the actual intersection.
