Pushing a bicycle laden with plastic shopping bags [...] she may have been homeless

Very sad to see that the victim seems to have been in a vulnerable social position. This mainly means that it'll be very easy to pin all the blame on her.

Don't they tend to use Lidar (although if that was the case I'm not sure why coming from the shadows would have made a difference, unless that was just a layman's interpretation of the situation).
