The guy was still going awful fast, when he got hit. Hi speeds and car driver not realizing how fast you're going = death.
But saw one once at a light in North Carolina, a guy sitting at the light, on a Harley. A pickup came up behind him, and apparently just didn't comprehend he was there. The pickup punted him across the intersection. Luckily the cross traffic missed him, and multiple people rushed to his aid. He appeared okay, just shaken. The pickup driver was beside himself, upset at what he'd done.
If I ever take up street riding, I'd wear neon day-glo colors, so I can be seen, even if they aren't cool.
