He was ticketed on Monday and he died Tuesday. A real no-brainer and yes good reporting. Another tragedy? Sorry he died, however, if the cyclists had obeyed the stop sign the tragedy could have be avoided!

How are both of the cyclists being ticketed if one of them is already dead? Good reporting. Another tragedy!
