The double solid yellow means no passing either direction. There are actual signs that tell you no passing.

Excellent point. There really aren't alternative routes for the bike commuter in a rural area like this one, and if the distance is too great for walking, car is not an option, and definitely no public transit, riding a bike is the only option for the victim.
It looks like from the video that the bike had a small rear light, but whether it was on or not, who knows. Very few details indeed.
