Cyclist very rarely die when they collide with a car. It's mostly when a car collide with them...

Article describes it as "he collided with a car"

"Pedestrian was killed after a shoe crash when he ran into a car"

That's what this article sounds like...

Corrected headline: "Some Asshole Was Texting or Going Too Fast and Ran Over Phil Ken in His Fucking Car"

From another article

“The initial crash investigation revealed that a Mazda B2200 was traveling northbound on Clairemont Avenue in the center travel lane,” the spokesperson said. “A cyclist was also traveling northbound on Clairemont Avenue in the curb lane. The cyclist attempted to turn left, westbound, onto Ponce de Leon Place from the curb lane of Clairemont Avenue. This action led to the cyclist striking the passenger side of the Mazda.”

If the police spokesperson can be trusted, seems like a poor decision on the cyclist's part. I don't turn left from the curb lane, I either take the left/turn lane (if feasible) or just pull over and cross perpendicular when it's clear.

RIP

I don't even know this guy, but this is upsetting. Every city should have someone like him.

OP, please use the article title, as the rewritten one is misinformation.

While tragic, multiple reports show the cyclist struck the passenger side of a car when attempting to turn across trafic.

Honestly, though, how many bicycles need attorneys?
