The case of a car hitting a truck in the opposing lane, is totally irrelevant to any question relating to bicycle lane placement. All it shows is that no place is safe.
BTW- based on the report that the was on her phone 2 minutes before the collision (if the timing holds up), I suspect that the DA will have a tough case arguing that she was distracted at the time of the event. I know that if I were a juror, saying something that happened before was a proximate cause would be a stretch. Of course, driving under the influence of prescription drugs isn't good either. I suspect that the drugs might make for a better chance of sustaining a reckless homicide charge. (but then again, I'm not the DA, judge, or possible juror).
