An American died as a result of injuries sustained while cycling after being hit by a car, yet no one appears to be talking about how he died, and how we can prevent it in the future.

"Julia Viellehner, a German triathlete being treated in the same hospital in Cesena after a collision involving a lorry last week near Forli has also lost her fight for life today."

RIP both.
Both very sad and unfortunately the road.cc article has descended into whether Nicky Hayden was wearing earphones. Best not to read the comments

I hate the language they use - unless they changed it, the BBC said Nicky Hayden died after a collision with a car.
Same language used about incidents in Edinburgh by EEN etc.
Might just be how I read the words, but if I collide with something, I usually bounce off. If a car hits me, the result will be different.
Maybe just me?

Ah yes. Whenever I turn the radio on in the car or wear headphones, I unaccountably drift through red lights / stop signs.

no, not just you
the 'subject' always collides with the 'object'
paints a vivid picture as to the trajectory of the incident
deeply prejudicial, while striving to appear neutral

@Nelly
Maybe just me?I have a very strong reaction when I read that version of a crash and would say that, whilst it might strive to appear neutral it is anything but, firmly placing the 'fault' on the victim.

A cycling accident, declared The Guardian.
It's not about brevity because car-bike crash is shorter. They could also have lorry-bike, bus-pedestrian etc.
