    First, the photos don't tell us much about the supposed incident. However, it's pretty obvious that the truck didn't hit the bicyclist, because the angles don't match. He/she most likely hit the brakes very hard and toppled over without ever touching the truck.

    Second, how do we know that the bicyclist was a "little old lady" ? The photos are not nearly clear enough to discern that.

    I sincerely doubt the truck driver even knew the bicyclist fell over as the truck passed him/her, and I fail to see how this is noteworthy. #streetview

    @Ben Wojdyla: Why the sigh, Ben? Does my point of view offend you? If you think I'm wrong you could simply state why. #streetview

    @Sportwagons, haulin' stuff and haulin' balls: No, i don't think you're wrong, there's simply humor in sensationalism. It's quite obvious we don't really know what happened here. #streetview

    @Ben Wojdyla: I guess my *wink wink nudge nudge* sensor was stuck in the off position. I read your post as being truly outraged at the Dutch firemen. Since neither the photos nor common sense would suggest that a truck full of firemen ran over an old lady and callously drove away, I commented accordingly.

    Jalopnik may mock the outrage by pretending to join in, but when the rest of the interwebs are truly outraged, it makes it hard to tell the difference. Next time I'll know better. #streetview
