I am sorry to hear about your loss.

A quick update to the story - the lady had missed her turn on a country road. Instead of going up to the next turn and turning around, she just started backing up down the road. That is how she hit the biker. My wiife told me about this yesterday when she came home from work (Highland hospital).
