The article says the crash occurred inside an underpass after dark (7:45 pm). I wonder if he had lights/reflectors, or whether he was riding "dark"?
I wondered that too. I don't ride over there, but the idea of getting hit from behind is so frightening that I'd like to think he was riding dark. At the same time, anyone riding at this time of year with conditions the way they are right now is likely well prepared for the conditions, so I find it hard to believe he would not have lights. Either way this is a sad day for cyclists, and a good reminder to everyone to be aware and to take all precautions necessary to be seen.
