Very little detail is given about the actual circumstances of the accident, only saying that the police ruled the death accidental.

Yep, and they're obviously blaming the kid, even though he was the one with the sense to wear a helmet.
Very easy to blame kids as they can't legally defend themselves, nor do they have long-lasting consequences.
 
@Smaug,
actually kids may not have long lasting legal consequnce, but the psycological consequence of being blamed for killing someone, specially in a small community, will last forever in his mind. Moreover, they actually blamed the ebike...

... and probably a re-run of a joke coming from Ancient Egypt (except it was a real fire, and the books lost were thousands... :( )

Ahhh... Alexandria, some say civilization would have been different if the fire had not happened.

That's a very good point, about the kid having long-lasting psychological effects. That's probably why they blamed the bike; they didn't want to mess up the kid too badly for what was obviously an accident.
 
There's always two sides to every story.

Headline from the student newspaper,

"eBike rider involved in fatale accident."
A well known 69 yr old drunken wino, riding her bicycle with no helmet, succumbed to injuries after wobbling into the path of an eBike rider on the way home from his weekly boy scout meeting. No charges were filed against the deceased because she's dead.
 

A homeless wino went into the doctors office for an infected foot...​

The doctor treated the injury, but before letting him go, he asked his patient to stay for a small demonstration.

The doctor brought out a tray, which held a bowl of worms, and two glasses - one full of milk, the other of whiskey.

The doctor set the glasses on the table and told the wino "now, watch what happens when I put a worm in each of the glasses".

He dropped a worm into the glass of milk - It swam around

He then dropped a worm into the glass of scotch - It died.

The doctor then looked at the wino and asked "Does this signify anything to you?"

The bum blinked and answered: "Yup, you can't get worms from drinkin' scotch!"
