Although this is a tragedy for all involved, do not call this an accident. Though I am sure it was not intentional, the person driving the car had an absolute responsibility to be 100% certain of his or her surroundings and oncoming traffic before turning, and failed to meet that resposibility. If it were your child, parent, sibling, or friend on the bike, I am certain you would want the car driver held accountable!
