There's not a lot of info given here other than the cyclist was going the wrong way - at least in the quote.
The article states that the car was coming from a driveway, my guess is that neither car nor cyclist saw eachother until they were on top of eachother. If that is the case, then I assume it would make sense for them to favour the bicycle over the car. However the driver may have been expecting a bicycle to come from the other (proper) direction and not expected one to be travelling the wrong way - in which case the cyclist I feel would be more responsible for the accident than the car driver.
