Maybe you should wait a day to learn the name and hometown of the cyclist -- then write the article. Just a thought.

Thanks for the thought, Jay. The reason we write as soon as we know what happened is because people are emailing and calling asking why they heard sirens. So we just want to let them know what had happened.

If it turns out to be the car driver at fault, I want to know if charges are filed. I ride.
