This
eye-witness report says that both the truck and the cyclist were stopped at the intersection.
23-year-old Anastasia Kondrasheva was on her bike and stopped at a light at Addison and Damen. She was to the right of a smaller flatbed truck that was stopped as well. When the truck driver turned right, its back tires ran over Anastasia.
Regardless of who got to the intersection first, cyclists should never proceed through an intersection on the right side of a truck. Even if the right hook is the truck driver's fault, the cyclist is the one who gets killed.
Nice to see that the owner of a local supply company who witnessed the accident is installing fender mirrors on all of his trucks.
