Yeah unfortunately here in Australia we've got far too many cases of drivers killing cyclists and getting away scot free, too. Sometimes that's because the police fuck up and it doesn't even make it to court. Sometimes it's because our legal system (including juries) just don't care enough. Always it's because it's impossible to hold transport engineers and city councillors legally accountable for their failures.

There was just another crash today - a driver drove into a group of cyclists, killing one, and hit a tree.

In this case, the driver has also been killed by it. It's not exactly clear what happened. May have been a medical episode or swerving to dodge a roo or something.

Driving is so dangerous
