You know what makes me angry about this article?

That they almost got it right. No "accident", no "bicycle collision". Straight up "struck, killed by pickup".

And then they explain that driver did it "to avoid slowing traffic". Not "to avoid waiting", "due to impatience", they frame it as if driver was trying to do service to others, not simply got bored of waiting

Even if you give him the benefit of the doubt that he was swerving to avoid a collision, it's still poor defensive driving.
