You really are not good at reading are you. There are two separate
stories on that link. One is about a cyclist being shot for reasons
unknown. There is also a short story about a cyclist dying after
crashing into a minibus taxi.

So, no cyclist was shot after crashing into the back of a taxi.

If you must post your rubbish, at least read it first.

Sorry. What a strange way to put out a story, to have a picture and caption
unrelated to the text.

Is that right? Let's check. Whole story verbatim (with the usual strange
newspaper paragraphing improved):

STARTQUOTE:
Police are searching for a motorist who gunned down a cyclist in an apparent
road rage incident on the N2 near the Msimbazi Bridge in Umgababa on the
South Coast. The father of three, Lionel Pautrel, formerly of France, was
killed following an altercation with a motorist. Police said Pautrel, 33, of
Winklespruit, was shot and killed by an unknown man travelling in a car on
Saturday, October 30.

Police spokesman Thulani Zwane said Pautrel had been cycling at 4.30pm when
he was shot in the back. Police believe that there might have been an
altercation between Pautrel and the motorist. “Three shots were heard and a
motor vehicle was seen speeding off towards Amanzimtoti. The man died on the
scene.”

Pautrel was an engineer who worked for a company in France. His wife, Makhosi
Pautrel, said they had decided to move to South Africa because he had fallen
in love with the country. She said her husband had moved to the country in
2005 and they decided to build a home in KwaZulu-Natal. “We did everything
together, we were planning so much for the future… and now I am left with the
children and, at same time, I have to grieve and arrange for his body to be
flown to France. All this is just too much for me.”

She said because her children would not be able to go to France to bury their
father, she had arranged a memorial service for them last Friday. Pautrel
said her husband had been an active sportsman and held a black belt in judo.
“I am so sad that my children are not able to go with me because of finances
and delays in obtaining the necessary travel documents. “But I arranged for a
memorial service with friends and family so that we can say our goodbyes to
him,” she said.

She has appealed for anyone who might have witnessed her husband’s killing to
contact the police. Zwane said the police were asking for anyone who saw the
incident to contact Captain Mark West at telephone 082 334 9856 or 039 973
1711. - The Mercury

Where's the "short story story about a cyclist dying after crashing into a
minibus taxi"?

Did the OP say that a cyclist was shot after crashing into the back of a taxi?

Funnily enough...

the picture and caption have some different age and name details, it is a
bit confusing, must be a 'foreign' thing.

Clearly talking about cabbie and shooting cyclist and cyclist crashing
into back of taxi. He is clearly mixing up the article and the caption
under the photo, which are unrelated.

But in this case, the picture is about a completely different story. I
suppose it does convey information about Mr Cheerful's attntion to
detail.

There's a big difference between skill with grammar and skill in typing.

And reading them first won't change the nature of his posts.
