Struck by a "truck." No, struck by the driver of that truck, the truck didn't drive itself. "Attempting to make a right turn" - as if looking for riders before making the right turn qualifies as an "oopsie." Classic windshield bias journalism.

I'll bet anything the NYPD, per their endless track record, will let the driver off without a slap on the wrist, and will blame it entirely on the rider.

Let's not forget the very first CitiBike death, where the NYPD invented their own victim blaming story to hang fault on the rider - only for video footage to show that the rider had been killed because the driver of a bus passed when it wasn't safe and with zero clearance, squishing the rider into a parked car.

Also, I'm not sure if this was a right turn on red scenario, but - nevertheless - let's take this opportunity to remember that ROTRs are a uniquely dangerous (for both people on bicycles and people walking) excuse of traffic engineering invented ONLY for the purpose of saving gas during the 1970's fuel crisis, at the expense of everyone else's safety. It was not even adequate at saving fuel.
