Damn I hate it when drivers cant hold there line. Sorry to hear about another bay area cyclist going down.
I have to admit it tho, you all have a great death to rider ratio. Meaning for the number of cyclists in that area vs the number of drivers with your total accident/fatality total shows that for the most part you all have done a great job in making the public cycle aware. Out here in Vegas they dont even cover the cyclists deaths or hit and runs. We avg about 1 death or serious vehicle vs. cyclist accident every three or four months. God I would do anything to move back there. Matter of fact right now I have to appendages on ebay.
sorry to hear of another cyclist down, and so long.

Man, I ride that road frequently. Pretty scary stuff.
