So how was the bicycle involved? When a motorist is in the fray, the
press
only seem to mention the vehicle they happened to be driving.

And an interesting difference between the link -
"...killed-after-being-ploughed-into-by-a-cyclist..."
and the headline -
"...killed after crash with a cyclist"

(hmm... so they're saying it was deliberate even before the police have
reached a decision?)


They use the word killed, not murdered. If the cyclist caused her death,
then he killed her.


So? If she had been killed by a motorist, the usual phrase is "killed in a
collision with a car"; the person at the controls of the car, the motorist,
is hardly ever involved.
