I'm sorry for the Knapp family and ppl on bikes everywhere.
Open season !

One no criminal charges ? no surprise
Never released the name of the driver ? I find this odd, must be well connected

This must make things even worse for the Knapp family. Knapp was in a bike lane and hit from behind: how could the driver claim that this was unavoidable? This is the DA’s values on display: if you’re in a car, you can kill people on foot or on a bike with impunity. Outrageous.

Very sad about this. My wife and I used to ride our bikes on that same stretch of road. No more. Motor vehicle drivers, driving any number of vehicles, from cars to dump trucks to buses, are getting worse every year. Infotainment dash displays and cell phone are the primary distractions.

It’s hard for me to imagine no criminal charges in this case- involuntary vehicular manslaughter, perhaps??

How are drivers going to become more attentive, as they suggest, where there is no penalty for inattentive driving. The speed limits are not maintained with suggestions.
Contra Costa County prosecutors made a horrible decision by sweeping this accident "under the rug"

Was the car driver at least given a ticket? Like failure to lane assignment/careless driving resulting in death? I've been struck by a car while riding my bike in two separate incidences and both times the driver was cited.

Ptown Baseball Dad had it right - why not a charge for involuntary vehicular manslaughter? He was in the bike lane. Was this reportedly 22-year-old texting, on their phone, or changing music?

The press release said the DA found no "criminal negligence".

I don't believe Baseball Dad or others are after a draconian sentence, but how about a year in Club Fed, probation, and restitution?

There might not be a criminal prosecution, but these circumstances support a civil wrongful death lawsuit. This is very similar to the case Louise Olin v. County of Los Angeles. Put that case name into Google. The plaintiff there was the surviving wife of a man who was killed while riding a bicycle by an inattentive driver who was texting and using a laptop. That case settled for $12,000,000 for the surviving wife. The surviving wife was represented by a well known firm in LA, and that information is all online.
