Golf analyst David Feherty broke three ribs and punctured his lung when he was hit by a truck while riding his bicycle near his home in Dallas. He expects to be fully recovered in time for the Masters.
Feherty said Friday he was returning from his morning bicycle ride a day
earlier when a truck hauling irrigation equipment pinched him into the curb and he was struck by the side mirror.
“He didn’t want to hit the car on the left, so he ran over the cyclist on
the right,” Feherty said. “I don’t remember a whole lot about it. There was a lady on the scene quickly, keeping me conscious. The next thing I know, I’m at Baylor Medical Center, the only hospital in the United States that doesn’t have The Golf Channel.” Read more: sports.espn.go.com

One would think that the truck was passing Feherty either (1) on a two lane road with oncoming teaffic coming or (2) on a four lane road with a car in the lane next to his/hers.
Either way, the driver seems to have put him/herself in the position to make that choice by passing a cyclist with cars the left.
If Feherty was trying to get at that point in his quote, he did a pretty poor job. I sense sarcasm in what he said, but the probalem is that most people won't get it.
