The cruiser lights were on. The rider was there illegally and knew it, didn't intend to stop or slow down.

This is a big problem on many footpaths around the country. Idiots who take their ATVs on them and ride that fast are asking for such an event, this one's wish was granted. Around here we call them road lice.
