Hit and run to boot. They stopped the truck driver further down the road. Bicycles are like speed bumps I guess. My nephew (who races bikes in TJ) was run over by a car that ran a red light. The driver tried to drive away but the bike was wedged under the cars bumper. My nephew managed to wedge his fist into the drivers face a few times, put his bike in a cab and came home for repairs. He was lucky. Motorcyclists fare no better that bikes.

How to cross the street in South America.
1) Look both ways
2) Run like hell!

Right of way is granted according to mass in descending order. More mass = more right of way.

From what I read on ensenada.net, the bicyclist was struck/run over by the second trailer of a set of doubles. I doubt the driver even knew he hit the bike

The horse had enough horse sense to cross at a cross walk.
