    I am a bit lost, the articles title is “Driver faces hit-run homicide in Marion County bike crash”. This seems to not put any blame on the cyclist. It seems much like any time a car hits and kills something, what am I missing?

      what am I missing?

      Some people get upset about the emphasis on the victim’s vehicle. Title ends with: “Media calls it a ‘bike crash’.” They seem to imply the title implied the bike was at fault. Victim blaming.

      Other people disagree and see the inclusion of “bike” as useful information, to differentiate from car-to-car crashes.

      It’s not a bike crash, it’s a 3.5 ton personal truck colliding with a biker and killing him.

        so the bike was OK? I think it was right and properly crashed though.

          No. The bike would have been fine if the 3.5 ton truck didn’t hit him tho.

            Yes, but there was a crash, a wreck, a twisting of metal and bone, the only thing it was not was an “accident”.

                so the bike was OK? I think it was right and properly crashed though. (really this article seems to be doing a good job overall and I was expecting blame to be shared)

                  I’ve already answered that question. You’re clearly being belligerent.

      That fleeing the scene of a collision is an offence in and of itself. Fault doesn’t play into it.

        I meant as the tone of the article, this post was about the media miss handling the homicide. I thought it was a good no punches pulled short write up, hence “what am I missing”.
