Notice how the bus yielded for the cyclist.
No helmet evident though.
Baskets vs panniers?

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.

You can do everything right, and some a-hole can stick wreck your life. Lucky cyclist.
I normally check for cross traffic even when I have the right of way... But would I have noticed the runaway car that caused this accident? I'm really not sure.

Nice find.
A few years back I had a similar hit-and-push-through-a-red while proceeding on a green light.
But nowhere near that hard, and nowhere near that close.

If this video is real, that cyclist has a new birthday, the day of the crash.
