The Wikipedia article claims that there was no vehicle involved. It reads more like a heart attack to me.

The sheriff said that there were no witnesses to the incident nor any indication that a vehicle was involved.

Shawn Bradley was paralyzed as well from a biking accident...

From Wikipedia:

"On January 20, 2021, Bradley was struck from behind by a motorist while riding his bicycle near his home in St. George, Utah, which resulted in a traumatic spinal cord injury in his neck that left him paralyzed.[39] A driver attempted to pass Bradley on the left in the same travel lane while Bradley himself was in the process of passing another car parked on the shoulder of the road."

So not really a bicycle accident, but a motorist accident? In case they would both have been riding bicycles, I doubt Mr Shawn Bradley would have been so unfortunate. Might sound like nitpicking, but in places actually designed for multi-modal traffic and not just for cars these accidents are very rare.
