Why would the cyclist do this?

Looking at that car they were going a fair speed.

omg I hate my brain, I read this like 3 times because I kept thinking it said that the person driving the car into a crowd of 5 cyclists died, and I kept thinking HOW

In a fair world, because the other cyclists dragged the driver out of the car and beat them.

What a shame, I missunderstood that the car driver died.
