Coach Knapp was riding his bicycle when struck by car. He was Broncos QB coach from 2013-16. Peyton set single-season passing records (55 TDs/5,477 yds) that still stand with Knapp in 2013. Knapp helped bring Trevor Siemian from 7th round to 18 TD/3401 yd passer in 2016. #9sports

Obviously, this is an incredibly tragic and scary situation. As someone who knows someone involved in a terrible biking accident, it doesn’t take much for things to go horribly wrong.
When you get hit by a car while biking, you have pretty much no protection other than your helmet.
