Bravo, I didn't say it was fact did I?<br />
<br />
No, I even qualified it as second hand knowledge of the cyclist being on his phone. Should I have added a bold don't before the statement to clarify it as heresy?

Actually they had it blocked off for hours and the Major Accidents unit came out and did take pictures. I work right over there and had to find a way around. I drove by shortly after the accident and if the lady that was really shaken up was the driver, she looked really young and in tears.<br />

I have friends that work in that district as police and sounds like the cyclist was on his phone when it happened and cut in front of the car against traffic.

<p>You're assuming that any photos were taken. Sad to say that the priority in most cases is to get the wreckage off the road ASAP so automobile traffic can get on the way without further impediment. Can't be inconveniencing the cagers, now can we?</p>

<p>History in situations like this is written by the survivors, who are always the drivers. I'd like to see the crash scene photos. </p>
