Here's a link to the original article, with more details about the crash.
Very sad, and RIP to the cyclist. I am 70, and I am advocate of testing drivers over 60 every 6 months. Not only that, test us with something a little stringent than the ordinary driving test. I see it all the time, old folks like me, that have lost the feel of driving and are really nothing but "accidents waiting to happen"..
