If you read the article, you will see that the testimony supported the defense that the cyclists swerved in front of the vehicle.

I will concede that there is a good chance the testimony was wrong, but were I on the jury I would not convict a man who quite possibly hit two cyclists who swerved in front of him giving him not enough time and space to avoid them.

It is better to let ten guilty men go free than to imprison one innocent man, even if they are cagers.
