What? Oncoming traffic can't be coming from a direction that you weren't looking at?
The Toyota that was passing the cyclists sustained side impact damage. The Ford that was making a right turn out from Ravenscroft Place had front impact damage. In other words, the car that was pulling out, drove straight into the side of the passing vehicle.
Keep in mind that Lands End Road is a through road that is narrow and Ranenscroft Place has a stop sign at the intersection with LER.
Common sense tells us, cars turning into a roadway should not enter the roadway if vehicles "are approaching so closely on the through highway as to constitute an immediate hazard"
Does that sound like that was the overtaking vehicles fault?
... and, double yellow means no passing. Single yellow means you can pass when safe. Do you know if there was a double, or single yellow at this point of the road?
