I'll be headed to our shop ride in a couple of hours. I'm hoping that will help knock me out of the funk. I've been angry today. Apparently the motorist contacted an attorney and has turned themselves in as of noon today. The attorneys' statement is disgusting. I know it's their job to try to make their client pitied and not look at fault...but they're claiming the responsibility lies in the event (which I help organize) not providing adequate safety measures (like, what...closing 145+ miles of road to traffic or hiring snipers to take out moron motorists who can't give cyclists a safe passing distance?) and the lack of marked bike lane. Because a 6" painted lane would have prevented their client from failing to control his truck...right. Several witnesses saw this guy driving aggressively, even before the incident and afterwards. After he hit her, dragged her a ways, then sped off without stopping.
