A construction bin was sitting in a bike lane in the area at the time, he said, which will be part of the police investigation.

Watching the video, it looks like the road has a cycle track with medians in sections to prevent automobiles from crossing over, but these also prevent bicycles from leaving. Normally, this would not be an issue at all, but when she was approaching the obstruction, there was only a relatively short gap where she would have to jump out into traffic to pass it. A worst-case scenario from a bike safety standpoint. This is really tragic.
