MODERATORS
Should be manslaughter at the least, but good on KGUN for actually describing the accident well in the headlines.
A lot of the time, news stations will call it a "bicycle accident" when a Canyonero runs someone over, and imply that it was the person on the bike's fault.
Still could have those charges added. The article is from the 20th, the day it happened. Initial charges would be from what the officers on scene arrested them for at the time. That doesn't stop them from adding or changing charges in the next few days/weeks.
Looking at the intersection mentioned in the article on Google Maps, the intersection has a stop light and street lights on all sides of the intersection, there is a bike lane along the road it says they were cycling down, and at 6am the sunrise would have been behind the Ford.
Not very many excuses left to even try to hide behind.
Thank you for using a possessive apostrophe correctly!
