Emily, it appears Ken was hit by a drunk driver going in the opposite direction:

So so sad and so tragically needless. His friend is maintaining his website which is so full of wonderful information for cyclists.

Beelady, I was not aware of Ken's website, thank you for pointing it out- I will read every single article!
