A confluence of bad timing ends up in another death. And it sucks all the way around. Sorry for the cyclist's family.
A similar sequence of events happened to Clinton Miceli in Chicago in 2008. Here's a photo of his Ghost Bike.

Motorist charged with anything? It's a crime to open your door into oncoming traffic…
From the KTVU article:
“Police said they will take their evidence to the district attorney. It will be up to prosecutors to determine if the woman who opened the door will face charges. Police said it is illegal to open a door in an unsafe manner. In this case, prosecutors could pursue involuntary manslaughter charges because the victim was fatally injured.”
