So get this... the guy is riding his bike on the southbound shoulder in the southbound direction on a 50mph road (one lane in each direction). A motorist going northbound crosses the center line, crosses the southbound lane, and enters the southbound shoulder in the path of the oncoming bicyclist. The bicyclist died. The news reported that the bicyclist was wearing a helmet. The news reported that alcohol was not a factor. The driver was rumored to be "distracted".

Heres the link...

This is the second tragic death by automobile this week in this area. In the second instance, a young girl was properly stopped in her lane waiting for on-coming traffic to clear so that she could turn left. She was rearended at high speed by a driver who was rumored to be "distracted".

For what it is worth.
