I don't see where they laid any blame on the cyclist. They did say the bike hit the car, which would be the proper wording in a situation if the car had pulled in front of the cyclists.
We have exactly zero details as to the situation.

This is Africa, 1943. War spits out its violence overhead and the sandy graveyard swallows it up. Her name is King Nine, B-25, medium bomber, Twelfth Air Force. On a hot, still morning she took off from Tunisia to bomb the southern tip of Italy. An errant piece of flak tore a hole in a wing tank and, like a wounded bird, this is where she landed, not to return on this day, or any other day.
