Within the cycling community, this is called “getting doored.” It’s common enough that cyclist need always to be on the lookout for it. Mostly unintentional despite some egregious cases.

Most likely this woman suffered head injuries. (The falls I’ve had, I have always hit my head hard on the ground. Always had a helmet, though.)

Remember Joe Biden fell off his bicycle at maybe 1-2 mph.

If he had hit his head the doctors could say “Luckily he hit a place where there was nothing vital.”

I was doored while riding a bike down the main drag of Portland Maine. Was wearing a helmut. No injuries or damage to the bike, but shaken up a bit. Went on my way. I should have reported it as a car bike colluison so it would get added to the state stats.
