"As she pulled onto U.S. 78, she was struck by an oncoming passenger car driven by an 82-year-old male."

Neither saw the other ? :(

Sad deal. I saw her many times here in Austin, Tx Lone Star BMW and at local rallies. Last talked to her last spring as she was suiting up to ride home.

Doesn't make it quite clear who's fault it was. The guy could have changed lanes into her or run a light or stop sign, or she could have just pulled out in front of him and it's all her fault. Can't really tell without more info.
