Agree with sibling. You are speaking out of turn in that you have no idea how long a human would take to react, as we don't know the situation completely enough

Agree with sibling. You are speaking out of turn in that you have no idea how long a human would take to react, as we don't know the situation completely enough from this article. That said, my takeaway is that the cyclist likely ran their stop sign. This is a very common accident situation even between cars, where the view is obstructed and the at-fault driver imagines that their path is clear. It seems very likely that the cyclist did a similar kind of thing, but with the additional aspect of ignoring the traffic control. Since I'm here: brakes not breaks.
