> White is not the only high-level cyclist to die in Colorado in recent years. In 2020, Clif Pro Team racer Ben Sonntag was killed by a driver while on a training ride outside Durango. That driver was sentenced to serve jail time in late 2021. In 2021, U.S. masters champion Gwen Inglis was killed by a driver outside Lakewood, Colorado.

The first article title I read on the story only said that he died. Just now ran into the more accurately titled article here on Lemmy

    Same in canada. As long as you’re not drunk, you can murder people with your car as long as you say “whoops! Accident!” right away

      That’s broadly true worldwide. If you want to kill people, a car (or some motorised equivalent) is the way to go.

      It’s up to 10 years, no parole, in Canada for vehicular manslaughter (whoops, accident). Vehicular homicide has the same maximums as any other homicide.
