This doesn't help the hit cyclist any, but this was almost certainly a driver who fell asleep at the wheel or perhaps medically impaired. This is also a hit and run. The cyclist reported body damage to the vehicle, so perhaps a check of body shops in the area might prove fruitful. The apparent lack of concern from the police is absolutely appalling.

This is very similar to something that occurred on Memorial Day just north of Boulder. A 17-year-old returning home after a night of partying fell asleep at the wheel, crossed the centerline and hit cyclist Scott Kornfield. Scott was killed instantly. His coach, Nate Llerandi, was riding with him and gives his account of the collision at:

Scott was well-liked among cyclists in this area. About 500 cyclists showed up for an awareness/memorial ride in Scott's honor last week.
