Hey man just a little info for you, when I was 15 I did a similar thing as the bicyclist. I looked both ways and "didn't see anybody" So I crossed, at a cross walk because it was taking forever to give me the light and I was a dumb impatient kid. Needless to say there was in fact someone coming and I got slammed by a minivan going 30-40 mph. Long story short I was rushed to the hospital and ended up with zero injuries other than being bruised and sore to the point of barely being able to move and some road rash from being thrown a good 30 feet through the air. Probably the luckiest thing of my life lol.

In the end it was legally my fault, so this bicyclist should be at fault legally too since it's a very similar scenario and she wasn't even at a cross walk.
