Bloody cyclists should be on the road..
Cyclists think they own the road….Most don’t wear helmets or have adequate lighting during winter months.
Hopefully nobody is seriously injured.
Such a compassionate soul, how do you sleep.
cyclists should be on the road..
I got bombarded on an earlier accident simply for saying no comment, there’s far too many accidents on our roads these days and commenting changes nothing.
That’s the only reason I posted what I did, however, from what you have said, your going to be voted down big time.
I was even called a lowlife, but I expect you won’t be called that because hopefully some of them will have a sense of humour.
I no lmao
This is awful. So many accidents lately when people are suppose to be staying at home. However I hope the cyclist and the driver of the car, are safe and ok
Could be going / coming home from or out for exercise essential shopping etc.
Hope al ok.
On a bike, mid pandemic, in January and after dark…. left brain at home, clearly.
Just think how many incidents there might have been if we weren’t in a Lockdown??
Seriously hope all okay,but haven’t the NHS heroes got enough on their plates.
LIGHTS need to be ON
And, at home.
No doubt a Covid death.
No doubt Covid was involved.the idiots who believe in this are Darwinism candidates
And you, Sir, are a complete muppet.
I know the elderly lady cyclist and she is hopefully leaving hospital tomorrow.
