Would a machine solving the trolly problem on whether to hit the wall vs some cyclists ever choose to hit the wall in a way that damages the driver, bounces into the people and damages some of the people, but kills no one?

I have seen accidents where a truck driver drives partially off the road to slow down his truck and minimize damage, but does not go entirely off it because that would kill him.
