  1. I know nothing about the details of this terrible collision but, if I were to guess, I’d say that the Fedex driver was distracted (maybe looking at his list of calls, etc.) and the cyclist didn’t have a daytime running light which significantly decreases the issues with distracted drivers as it gains their attention (blinking light).
    I would like to know what the investigation concludes because this area, a straight path yet, is very popular among cyclists and knowing how to reduce the chances of this happening again is important.
