<div dir="ltr">As a trained investigator I am surprised by your pronouncements based on the photo of a bike under a wheel. Without additional information, I would never infer anything from a still photo taken after the incident.

According to the first-hand account, the bike was using the *sidewalk and entering the crosswalk.* If that's true, then that's not "wrong way down a one-way street" or "wrong way in the bike lane." At that point the cyclist is in a legally protected zone. Cars have to stop for bikes in crosswalks even if it's right next to a bike lane. Kids use sidewalks and crosswalks because it's safer. Just because it's an adult (I presume) doesn't mean cars get to crunch you. </div></div>
