Today I was running (on foot) to a well-used multi-use path nearby, and heard a "crunch" coming from up ahead. I look for the noise, and see a full-size pickup stopped in the middle of a right-hand turn with a person on a cell phone, a bike underneath, and another person dusting themselves off on the grass.
Here's a street view if you follow the link. The truck was just ahead of the stop line.

I'm guessing the person on the bike came off the sidewalk assuming the truck was going to see them and stop, had no idea the truck was moving, or didn't see the truck. The person on the bike was riding against the flow of traffic on the sidewalk, and trying to cross a very busy intersection controlled only by a stop sign.
Be careful out there, folks!
