Jim, if we are thinking of the same incident with the cyclist, it was no accident. A friend of mine drives a tow-truck on call-out for the police, and he revealed that the van had been driven by a nutter who'd escaped from his asylum (or whatever you call them these days), with the express purpose of pinching a vehicle and mowing down as many cyclists as he could.The various related accidents with cars were due to earlier unsuccessful attempts to drive across cyclists' lanes trying to run others down before he achieved some success.Police were fuming apparently, there was nothing they could do but return the maniac to his fold! He's not responsible for his actions you see.
