A paywall pops up fairly soon.
 
I counter w/ a Ctrl-A as soon as the page loads to highlight all the text
then switch to a terminal window with and open instance of 'jstar' (or use
text editor or your choice), right click and "paste" and read the text
there.
 
I forget if I right click and 'copy' after I highlight the text...might have
to play around.
 
Anyway, the driver swerved over and hit the victim in the bike lane "for
unknown reasons" then drove on.  He eventually did call 911 however.

I'm amazed that the crime is classed as a misdemeanor. It's been said

In my view, a person who kills someone with their car should never, ever
be allowed to drive again.

Far too radical. Check out what happened first, then decide
how much fault each person had. Sometimes the victim is not a victim,
he's a suicide attempt. In this case the driver was speeding AND he
invaded the bike lane.

The only part of the story I didn't understand is that he only
returned to the crime scene AFTER he got a family member to drive him.
Was he too drunk to drive? On drugs? Or just in a state of shock?

" The car swerved and struck him for no apparent reason,
police said at the time, then drove on."
Strange that was not investigated. Might have had a minor
epileptic episode...

Could just be a very badly written report ...
