car pulls out in front of cyclist, cyclist hits car, therefore cyclist is at fault?

Maybe I'm jumping the gun as it does say investigating but still...

Wenatchee police investigate the scene of a one car, bicyclist accident on Chelan Avenue just north of Orondo Avenue Friday. The cyclist apparently ran into the side of a car driven by Nella Babsten, right, as Babsten was pulling out of an alley onto Chelan Avenue. She was not cited for the accident. The cyclist was taken by ambulance to Central Washington Hospital.

Don't run red lights, wear a helmet, use hand signals, get some cycle lights(front and rear) and, FFS, don't run red lights!
