How awful! Yes, it was a freak accident, and something like that will probably never happen again, there, but that doesn't help the girls who lost a daddy and the other family members/friends who lost a loved one.
Tragic.

This is really tragic and indeed a freak accident, although of course speed is a large part of the cause and this could have been avoided. I feel terrible for all those left behind.
The sentence in the article "Both were wearing helmets." really irks me. I mean, what use is a helmet when it's raining SUVs??

But if they weren't, the article would have mentioned it as if it would have possibly saved them, and the cyclists were partially responsible for their fate.
