Actually it was fairly well publicized among the cycling community in FL, I believe. If you Google Cyclist Killed During Bike FL, I think you'll find numerous postings. I heard that the driver of the truck was crying hysterically after hitting the guy. I can only imagine how he felt having taken a life through careless distraction.

I doubt there will be charges. I'm surprised it wasn't more publicized among the cycling community in Florida, but the fact is that you can pretty much kill someone with impunity here if you're in a car and they're not. As I've mentioned before ... there was an incident where someone ran down a traffic cop in an intersection and wasn't charged (broken bones, but no life-threatening injuries, thank goodness).
