Around 11 a.m. on Friday, a FedEx van driver struck four bicyclists at the intersection of MacArthur Blvd and Goldsboro Road. One rider was seriously injured. A rider who came upon the scene said she thought the driver went through a yield or stop sign without looking. This is from a Channel 9 story Friday:
Hope they recover soon and completely.

The news story makes it sound like a hit and run. Does anyone know if the driver has been identified? Doesn't FedEx keep GPS tracks of their vehicles for routing purposes?

The driver stayed on the scene, as you can see in the "raw video" link on the Channel 9 story page (probably extra video they didn't know what to do with).

Here is what I think happened, based on the news story and the account of a (later) passer-by. But I have no first-hand knowledge or accident report. I drew stop signs at the little intersection where the U-turn was made in red. There's no stop sign or white line where the van entered MacArthur.
