The driver of the SUV was cited to appear in court for failure to yield.
It was a direct blow to the head. Can't ever say if it saved his life, but it certainly dissipated the force of the impact at least a little in this case, as evidenced by the trashed helmet. There's no question. It certainly didn't hurt him.
I wish Dave a speedy recovery, and volunteer cyclintom for the study where his unhelmeted head is exposed to the same force, just to see what happens.
