Thanks for the link.

It is clear that the bicycle overtook the tanker from the rear, about a block before the gas station, and long before the tanker started signaling (or should have been signaling).

Watching this video, it is clear the cyclist hesitated before dismounting and stepping back.

Would she have realized her imminent danger had it been a longer single trailer rig? Another second hesitation, and she could have been knocked over, and under the truck.

Yes, the driver should have seen the cyclist, but this is also a place where the cyclist put herself in a dangerous place, and it is harder to catch someone approaching from the rear and passing on the right than remembering having just passed the person.

I can't say that I never pass on the right, but it is not good to hang next to a large truck without quickly completing the pass.
