VT Police: Truck Driver Not at Fault in Bonnie Tinker’s Death

Cyclist Bonnie Tinker, killed July 2, 2009 on the Virginia Tech campus in Blacksburg

The Virginia Tech Police have determined that the driver of the truck was not at fault in the crash that killed cyclist Bonnie Tinker. The Roanoke Times and WSLS have the story.

We look forward to seeing the police report. Eyewitness reports may have been a major factor in determining the cause of the crash. What could have caused Bonnie to “wobble” wildly enough to become tangled with a truck passing safely, at the minimum legal distance?
