While IANAC (I am not a coroner), it shouldn't seem too difficult to discern the difference between being rear-ended and crashing into something. There would be clear evidence on the bicycle, too.
This also reminds me of a thread from just a couple months back about an accident somewhere else in Westmoreland County. How close together were these two incidents?

It's about time someone came up with a concise way to let others know you are not in fact a coroner. This is going to prevent confusion and save us all a lot of time.
