They have posted more details and it does sound like a "wrong place wrong time" tragic accident. If there's any lesson we can take from it, I think it's that if you need to stop to attend to something, don't do it at the top of a blind hill, corner, ... or if you do, either get off the shoulder or be attentative to approaching traffic. How horribly sad for everyone, and all the families and friends, affected by this.

Another sad story: We had a woman cyclist killed last week in my area. She was riding with 2 other cyclist. She was hit by a pick-up. The 24 year old driver said he dropped his cell phone and bent down to pick it up.
I don't think he will be charged with anything, because the cyclist were riding 3 abreast when it happened.pedal pusher
