It seems reporters can't seem to agree on some basic facts such as the number of cyclists hit...
So 3 or 4 cyclists hit by an 81 year old driver, and the report below is speculating if the 3 cyclists could have all been at fault... :mad2:

here's one source that says 3 cyclists

CALABASAS, Calif. -- Three bicyclists were struck by a car driven by an 81 year old woman on Mulholland Highway in Calabasas. Two of the cyclists were critically injured. A third suffered minor injuries.
It happened at 7:30 a.m. at the intersection of Mulholland Highway and Stokes Canyon Road.
California Highway Patrol Officer Leland Tang says the driver of an Audi A4 was making a left turn onto Stokes Canyon Road when the bicyclists were struck.
There is no traffic signal at the intersection, Tang said.
It's unclear if the bicyclists didn't see the Audi, or the Audi didn't see the cyclists, CHP officials said. No one has been cited for the accident.
The car's driver was not hurt, but was visibly upset after the crash.

And from another source, they claim it was 4 cyclists hit....

A morning bike ride turned disastrous for four bicyclists in Calabasas on Monday.
A car hit the group near Mulholland Highway and Stokes Canyon Road. Three of the bicyclists were so badly injured that they had to be airlifted to UCLA Medical Center.
The California Highway Patrol says an 81-year-old female driver in an Audi A4 caused the crash. The driver was on Mulholland, turning left onto Stokes Canyon when she hit the group.
According to the CHP, the woman said the sun blocked her vision.
CHP officers have not cited the motorist. There is no light or stop sign at that intersection.
