Just look at the speed that the RV was going! The driver was given a $500 ticket for almost killing 30 cyclists. Insane that they're even allowed to drive after that.

That’s what an accident is, unintentional

Even if you frame it like that, there's a massive difference between gross negligence and "oops, that happened".

This driver was negligent at the very least, and I only say that because there's no way of knowing if they intended to just "nudge" the cyclist or not.

Edit: spelling
