Just look at the speed that the RV was going! The driver was given a $500 ticket for almost killing 30 cyclists. Insane that they're even allowed to drive after that.

You must not be familiar with the medical system in the US. They're gonna be in the hole thousands of dollars just for getting looked at. Considering the remoteness of the accident, their ambulance ride will be incredibly expensive. In this case, the RV driver's insurance should be on the hook, but you know they'll do everything they can to pay as little as possible.
