If this cyclist had been on the road, he still would've been out of sight from the SUV and still would've died. Trucks routinely stop in front of Tim Hortons, on routes that are illegal "to stop". Just because it was a transport truck doesn't give it special rights.

Bottom line, is that the SUV was blinded and impatient. It was not expecting nor looking to see if a pedestrian or cyclist might be approaching behind the transport truck. Instead the driver was impatient and tried to make a jolt into the Tim Hortons parking lot. It was the SUV drivers fault for proceeding ahead when he couldn't see what was coming.

From what I've noticed, traffic in front or near any TIm Hortons causes drivers to make irrational and unpredictable driving decisions. The most dangerous drivers on a roadway are near a Tim Hortons, second only to lost drivers.
