"Italian newspapers reported on Monday that investigators had found video of the accident from a camera on a house overlooking the road. They said the images suggested Hayden had failed to stop at an intersection and was hit full on by the passing car."
Has this been confirmed?

"Defence lawyers argued that Hayden had failed to halt at a stop sign, and was cycling with ear buds in and listening to music.
An official accident report attributed 30% of blame to the car driver."

I get that this won't perhaps be a popular opinion, but why are his family now trying to sue the driver for €6m in Damages
I get that they've had a tragic loss, and the sport as a whole will miss Nicky, but why now sue the driver ?
It's like the guy from Fast and Furious who died in a Porsche being driven too fast, and is now his family are trying to sue Porsche for building a car too quick for the roads.
It's a horrid thing to have happened, but the guy's run a stop sign wearing earphones, and been hit by a car that was going 12mph over the limit, so suddenly the driver is being sued and prosecuted ?

Seems like a perfectly reasonable verdict.
Sorry but if the defence lawyers statement is true it seems a bit harsh on the driver IMOit says '' An expert witness for the prosecution alleged the driver could have stopped and "entirely avoided the accident" if he was travelling 20km/h slower.''
so maybe that is why
