So, you're saying that the guy had lights so he should have seen the bike rider whilst at the same time saying that there was "light peeking through" so the bike rider didn't need reflective clothing and lights on the front and rear of the bike?


I’m not absolving the biker from the stupidity of not wearing reflective clothing.

But it’s light enough to see the road at 6:30, especially with headlights. And it wasn’t foggy.

My guess is texting or checking Facebook.

First light was at 6:47am in New Iberia. Sunrise at 7:11am. The guy was totally in the dark. It's sad that he passed away, but it was his own fault.

ETA: like supa and TygerTyger said, I think the news used the word cyclist loosely. The guy was riding a bike. No cyclist is going out before sunrise in dark clothes and no lights.

State police logged the call at 630am. The dude was likely hit ~615 am and there is no way in hell can you see shite without headlights an hour before sunrise.
