Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: A front-to-side collision with another vehicle.
In a front-to-side collision, the front of one vehicle hits the side of another. This is the most common type of accident involving cyclists, and in the image, the gray passenger car is coming out of a street with its front facing the cyclist's side. Cyclists being struck by vehicles and running off the road are less common.
