This Bay Area story continues to ferment a month later:
"On the evening of Aug. 8, the night of Fang’s death, a 19-year-old
driver was exiting a parking lot in a Mazda SUV when she said an e-biker
startled her by hitting her car. She then accelerated, striking the boy
and a 6-year-old girl (who survived) before smashing into the front
window of a poke restaurant. Some blamed the e-biker, calling it a
'chain reaction' (language police used in initial reports). Others said
a parking space outside of the lot created a blind spot for the driver."
[Witnesses say the motorist entered the street without due care for the
presence of the cyclist, which caused the lawfully-riding e-cyclist to
hit her car - there's your "startling" in another light. The so-called
"chain reaction" was hyped on Nextdoor and a local motordom-championing
free newspaper. But still more press continue to print the motorist's
version of this, thus feeding the general mainstream hysteria about
e-cycling.]

Was e-bike on sidewalk or street?
Age of biker?
Legal electric bicycles or ‘other’ e-bike?
