I saw that but haven't read the articles for details. If the two were alone, we may never entirely know what happened.
I've come close to a head-on with other riders a couple of times on the road. Always DUI riders on the wrong side of the road. Most recent was a year or so ago with a guy on an e-bike. It was at dusk and I think he did have a headlight (I know I did because I always do). Just saw him and moved in time. We probably would have had a closing impact at 40 mph, so it would not have been pretty.
I don't care much about DUI riders on unregulated e-bikes, but ride on the right side of the fvcking road... 😡
