It shows the cyclist entering the intersection near the state Capitol after the light turns green. A couple seconds later, Clark enters the intersection in an SUV and slams into the biker.
Clark didn't immediately return a message seeking comment Tuesday. The biker received non-life threatening injuries.
A Madison police report says Clark told an officer "I was just not paying attention."
