Investigators arrest 31-year-old man identified as Charles Medina in connection with death of Rapp who was 26

From the article - “The agency said Rapp and a fellow bicyclist were riding on a local road when Medina passed them in his car, stopped, and drove his vehicle in reverse. Medina then hit Rapp, and she was pronounced dead after emergency responders brought her to a hospital.”

    When I saw this story in another article (not sure if the one linked here also has this), apparently the driver is saying that he thought they waved him down and stopped, then backed up to see what they wanted. If that’s true, it would fit with criminal negligence, because even if that’s really what he was thinking (and even if that’s what they were doing), you’re still not supposed to back into and kill anyone.
