You can see from the CBS video screenshot pretty clearly that the police car is stopped on a slight incline. A cyclist doing ~15mph being struck from behind by a car doing 45-50mph would be enough to kill someone on impact.
Yes, It seems my location was off by a few hundred feet. The street view images are a year and a half old making it difficult to match the scene to the news images. Those trees are really fast growers; looks like a foot an a half.

That's sad to hear. It could be any of us.
