"We do not know of a single case of a cyclist fatality in which the driver was prosecuted, except for D.U.I. or hit-and-run,” Leah Shahum, the executive director of the San Francisco Bicycle Coalition, told me."

That is a great article. It's important to look at the language used by media in these cases, for example look at this local news article about the ex-Napster person's accident, the headline is: "Bicyclist dies after hitting patrol vehicle in Calabasas" which implies that the cyclist was the one who hit the police car, even though he was rear ended. "The man was riding east on the road when he crashed into a patrol car traveling in the same direction, officials said."
