She wouldn't have been able to get the car moving or identify who was behind and how far, she wasn't even in the car at the time.
I've read a bunch of news stories on this. They all say the car came to a quick stop and the bikes did not have time to brake or veer out of the way. It was also reported that the driver of the car was in the car when the collisions happened. It doesn't make sense if she tended to the ducks, because this would have been after the bikes hit her. Do you have a link to a news story on this?
