They still haven't released anything else on it, but from the look of those pictures and how i know that intersection works, i think the car tried to run the red turn light and just plowed right into him. So sad, do other countries have the same problem with drivers not looking for bikes??

And probably while texting and reading the paper. I actually saw a person reading a book while driving on 290 a while back in heavy traffic, zoomin' along at 65 or so.

Hope they are ok, didn't see anything on 2's site, just the one you posted.
