Interesting reading http://72.14.253.104/search?q=cache:...&ct=clnk&cd=11 regarding the collision that killed Sydney:

cut & paste:

'There was no doubt what caused the accident. "Carelessness," said Douglas County sheriff's Deputy Adam Cataffo, the accident's chief investigator.

But it wasn't that simple.

It was a bright, sunny day on a curvy hillside, with signs, homes, trees, a high school on the hill and other visual clutter to camouflage the cyclist.

There was little room for error. Only a ribbon of white paint ran between the busy street and the bike lane. Patrick's car drifted across the line as the road curved gently to the left in front of his high school.

Any driver would've needed to pay close attention.

The witness in the next lane never saw Price on his bicycle, only the aftermath.

"It was very difficult, at best, to see where Mr. Price would have been," Cataffo said.'
