You can't see a whole lot except that the road is almost pitch black, with no lighting whatsoever, and the car is stopped in the fast lane, with the bicycle (or something that looks like a bicycle) wedged underneath. The exact location where the car is stopped appears to be a bridge over a small creek on the edge between 5900 and 6000 blocks. The car was westbound and there is an unlit T-intersection with a side road (Barden Gate) about 450 feet east. It is probable that the cyclist was crossing the road at that intersection when he was hit.
