I extend my condolences to the family as well.

I am somewhat confused how a driver could not realize she was approaching a vehicle and (possibly) overtaking the vehicle. Know what I mean? The driver said she thought ice had fallen off the overpass and that the ice had caused the damage but upon looking further realized there was more damage. Now, I appreciate one can experience a glancing blow and sometimes during winter weather there is a great deal more noise and shaking as we drive over snow and ice, but did the driver not connect the fact that she was (I presume) passing a cyclist and hearing noises or realizing there was damage to her vehicle? I've heard loud bangs where snow and ice have been caught under the frame of the car and stopped to see if I'd hit something hidden beneath the snow or done any damage. I just don't get it. Sigh.
