2 things in this article are not clear:

* "with University traffic having a green light at Randall."
This presumably refers to Westbound traffic. Did Eastbound also have a
green? or did the cylist go through a red light?
In any case, the cyclist apparently did not have a headlight, which
might have prevented this crash. Its pretty dark now at 7pm.

* "University Avenue is one-way westbound in that stretch, but there's
a two-way bike lane on the south edge of the street."
This is just stupid. The Eastbound bike lane is not 2-way.
