To me it seems that possibly she was going a little too fast for where she was riding, I'm not trying to say she's at fault.
Maybe I'm wrong, perhaps A&S is intended to be a gossip thread with no educational value?
As far as I can tell from the video, she was riding at a reasonable speed. The point, though, is that the SUV was coming her way and taking up the whole width of the path. She could have been riding at 5 MPH and still gotten hit if the driver didn't slow down in time. In the video, he certainly didn't seem to slow down fast enough.
I will be honest. If I were her, I would NOT expect an SUV coming from the opposite direction taking up the entire width of the path like that.
