The intersection where this incident occurred is one of the busiest in the area for cyclists. It is not as if a bicycle is never encountered there. I almost wish the driver would have been a DUI instead of a very nice 64 year old woman with her grandkids in the car. Distracted driving is probably the cause.
That lady is lucky she "only" hit a cyclist. Had she been T-boned by another car/truck she and her grand kids might be dead. Sadly, she will have to live with this for her remaining years.
