There is no charge as yet. The cyclist has been arrested, presumably questioned and then bailed until May.
Like cyclist fatalities it may be that only the event is newsworthy to the national media (even in their local manifestations). There was a cyclist killed by a left turning HGV on my regular commute in September 2008. In spite of keeping m eyes and ears open I could not find out what happened next.
Oh, and you cannot be charged with drink driving on a bike in England. There is a drunk riding charge but not based on blood alcohol and penalty is relatively light, certianly no threat to a driving license.
