Manslaughter. This is a small street in a residential neighborhood. There is no reason the driver would need to go fast enough to kill a cyclist. Car drivers need to be punished just like irresponsible gun owners. They are driving a killing machine.
No ID on the driver...must be the usual suspect...
Most unfortunate.
