The incident is far from the first involving a UK-based cyclist being
hit by a truck while attempting to ride across the United States – the
highest profile case being that of James Cracknell, who nearly lost
his life when he was hit by a lorry’s wing mirror in Arizona in July
2010, a few months before two Britons on a coast to coast charity ride
were hit by a truck leaving one of them dead.

Luckily Cracknell is back in the saddle and riding even more charity
events
once again.

You should remenber that incident whenever the sun is low and is in
your face, drivers will frequently drive blind, they don't all use
polarised lenses.

I am cycling to work under those condition now - the Sun is rising at
precisely the same time as I am on my final approach on our dock's road, so
my solution is to keep both of my powerful rear lights on.
