"You can always get where you're going a minute later. But she's never coming back." (3:21)
"We can't prejudge the investigation. But we can say the one thing that's always true is the drivers need to slow down and put the safety of others first." (3:36)

BACKGROUND
The cyclist, Madison Lyden, 23, of Australia, was riding north in the Central Park West bike lane when a livery car pulled out in front of her. She swerved and was struck by a private garbage truck at about 4:45 p.m., police said, NBC New York reported. The truck driver was charged with DWI-related offenses. In January 2019, prosecutors dismissed the top intoxicated-driving charge for insufficient evidence, saying witnesses and video showed he stayed in his lane within the speed limit, and he pleaded guilty to two lesser counts and was fined $1,000, ABC News (Australia) and The Sydney Morning Herald reported. The livery driver was not charged.
