I hope this serves as a lesson to all bicyclists to wear reflective clothing!!! I am sorry this terriable accident happened but this honestly probably prevented if the person on the bike had worn the proper riding gear. I hope the person who was driving the vehicle is going to be ok mentally and emotionally.
you should always wear reflective clothing and remember a bike is the same as a car ride going with traffic have a rear light and a front light it is state law. don;t know how many times i have seen bicyclists out after dark with out either.
Just last week, came across a bike in the road in Amherst at night with no reflective gear on. Luckily I saw him and told the driver of the car I was in. He did not see him at all!!!!
