US boxer Hannah Rapp, who in June fought for the World Boxing Council (WBC) women’s featherweight championship, was killed on Saturday while she bicycled in Texas after a motorist struck her with his car, according to authorities.
“The agency said Rapp and a fellow bicyclist were riding on a local road when Medina passed them in his car, **stopped, and drove his vehicle in reverse.** Medina then hit Rapp, and she was pronounced dead after emergency responders brought her to a hospital.”

How someone can only be charged with manslaughter, after passing the victim then putting the car in reverse is confusing to me.

So he was frustrated that they took a few seconds of his time by sharing the road, but he had time to stop, back up, murder her, and do time in prison??

Can a lawyer explain why the driver isn’t being charged with murder?

Why is hitting someone with your car basically the perfect murder in the US?

I once had someone pull a gun on me for cycling in the street. Sad thing is, it was probably only one of about 10 times my life has been threatened for cycling.
This car-centric culture that ignores the dangers associated with it is horrendous.

I still think this has something to do with betting as opposed to cycling.

“Struck” is doing some heavy lifting here.
