If a child gets run down by someone who didn't see him...
...an investigation will be launched to find out whether it was an accident (i.e. child did jump in front of car) or a crime (i.e. driver was texting, easily could have spotted child).
Similarly, an investigation should be launched if someone runs down a cyclist. Could be the cyclists fault (i.e. running a red light) or the drivers fault (i.e. running down a cyclist on a cyclist lane where the driver should take care not to run over cyclists...).

- CookWithMe 13y agoa) The way you stated it implies that it is ALWAYS an accident, never a crime. b) The article claimed so. > “We do not know of a single case of a cyclist fatality in which the driver was prosecuted, except for D.U.I. or hit-and-run,” Leah Shahum, the executive director of the San Francisco Bicycle Coalition, told me.
- tsotha 13y agoI guarantee you if you killed a cyclist in the SF bay area there would be a police investigation.
