The cyclist was badly injured 

thanks to the pedestrians and car drivers who stopped and helped

Do you mean when you say 'right headlight' driver side or passenger side? Right from inside the car or as it comes towards you? 

My car was recently stolen by accessing the electronics via the nearside front headlight, which stopped that working.

This may be a simple hit and run or it may additionally have been a stolen car.

So sorry to hear and I hope that the cyclist recovers quickly and is not put off cycling.  I was left for dead in a hit Nd run many years ago, people stopped and came to my aid and one drove me home with the wrecked bike.  There will be CCTV the police should check. If you are in contact with the cyclist then the Motor Insurance Buteau should provide compensation, particularly if there were eye witnesses

Hope she has a speedy and full recovery.

The Police should put a sign up now at the junction asking for witnesses, nothing there yet?  Not everone looks at this forum.  They usually put them up about three months after the incident, when no-one can remember the speeding car or who was driving it!

How terrible for the cyclist. I can only imagine how shaken up she is by this event. I hope she makes a speedy recovery, physically, mentally & emotionally.

The vehicle's registration number should be easy to extract, as the area is laced with CCTV cameras. I hope they are caught.
