Cyclist Dies After Falling From Bike

"A cyclist was killed when he fell from his bike into the path of a truck
on the NSW mid north coast.

The 66-year-old man was riding his bike on Victoria Street at Taree when he
hit a car door just before 10.30am (AEST) on Thursday, police said. After
hitting the door, the man fell from his bike and into the path of the
truck, suffering massive head injuries and dying at the scene."

Interesting language "Cyclist Dies After Falling From Bike". The writer
seems to think that being crushed by several tonnes was only an incidental
factor in the incident. And the car door, it seems, was of no significance
and was just standing alone in the middle of the road minding its own
business when the stupid cyclist ran into it.

Wait, here comes one of those "we don't have the facts" arguments...
although the incident as detailed in the article is not very well summed
up in the headline - and that is a fact.

Just imagine - the cyclist may have been keeping further left to allow
room for the truck to pass, when some dumb fscker opened their door
without looking.

That's really sad news. Stay safe, everyone.

TamI think dewatf was commenting on the biased language of the reporting.
Many people only read the headlines.

The headline should have read something like:

``Cyclist dies after colliding with car door.''

Whilst not conveying the full facts (it's a headline) it paints a more
accurate picture than ``Cyclist dies after fallilng from bike.''

its a sad headline and clearly opinionates against cyclists.

"*-Driver cardoors cyclist and death results"-* might be a more telling
headline,

It's probably better than "Cyclist Dies After Riding On Road" which is
probably what they wanted to say.

"Car Driver Negligence Kills Cyclist"

Probably won't see that headline.

It all depends on what sells newspapers.
