I rode past the aftermath of this yesterday. Bike mangled. There was an SUV parked on the freeway ramp that I assumed had hit the rider but I guess not. Glad to see in the article that the rider was basically OK.

The rider wasn't 'crossing' 3rd when he got hit by a car on the offramp, 3rd turns left at the end where the offramp also ends and moves freeway traffic onto 3rd. It is the dumbest thing on earth that they routed that bike lane across the end of a freeway ramp where cars are still going 50+mph before reentering the atmosphere of surface streets. There are no traffic controls for traffic on 3rd crossing the ramp. Maybe a yield sign?
