What every one I showed the article to found humourous is the idea
that a transport truck driver could be physically injured in a
transport truck/bicycle collision. Unfortunately the cyclist was
seriously injured but is in stable condition. He was wearing dark
clothing at the time of the accident which occurred shortly after 6:15
a.m. which means it was totally dark then with no street lights. There
is no mention if the cyclist was using lights of any sort.

How long had he been driving since his last rest before hitting
something he obviously didn't see in his headlights?

Judging by the time of the collision, my guess is that the bicyclist
was not drunk, drugged, distracted or asleep.

Typical lazy-cop response.

It does make one wonder considering that the truck was over-taking the
bicyclist. I wonder if this occurred at an intersection? I also wonder
why the bicyclist did not take evasive action. Highway 6 has a speed
limit of 80 kilometres per hour if I recall correctly.

I hope the cyclist has a full recovery.
