Clearly it was just 'A momentary lapse of concentration' and therefore not the driver's fault. Or possible the driver had a medical emergency or had to swerve to avoid an unlit cyclist.
Strange isn't it that all cyclists ride constantly on pavements yet rarely hurt anyone and motorists never intentionally drive on the pavement but these sort of things happen every day.

Also cars driving into houses seem to occur fairly regularly in the

news. Some end up embedded in the brickwork.
