Cyclist death in Las Vegas
 

Another sad and pointless death.
The driver "didn't see" the cyclist, who was riding with traffic, then apparently didn't see a tree either.
Sorry the article isn't any better. Cyclist death ranks right below grocery store openings in the media here.

Didn't see the cyclist, my aching @$$!!!!

The only possibility of not seeing the cyclist is for the guy to admit that he had his head up his...you know.

As Chris L. used to point out, "I didn't see him/her" is a confession of inattentive motoring.

thats sad i live in vegas and know exactly where it is

Sounds like it was on a wide laned road, or a road with a shoulder at least (article points to the motorist drifting from their intended path to hit the cyclist). Do you know what this road looks like or have a link to Google maps for it?

there is a screen shot of the intersection

You do everything right and take every precaution to stay safe and even though the driver wasn't drunk or racing, this still happens. Scary...

I live in vegas also. Just got back into cycle..and have been very cautious. Drivers in this town are HORRIBLE!!

Sad to hear this. best wishes to any family
