I heard that the dumptruck was all the way over in the bike lane trying to miss the guy in the car. I guess there was nothing left of the car. They just threw a tarp over the car and hauled it off, they extracated the dead guy at the fire hall it was so ugly.

The headline they used makes it appear as if the dump truck driver was at fault. If you read the story it clearly states that the car crossed the center line and collided with the dump truck.
