Cars striking bicycles . . . a vicious combination. The same thing happened over a year ago in San Jose:

The driver, likely the suspect, had a suspended license for DUI and took off after he hit the young woman. Finally he's in court and facing his day of judgement.
If found guilty I have only one suggestion: Life imprisonment without parole.
