Cyclist speaks out over killed pedestrian in London

QUOTE:
"John Richardson, a cyclist who travels to work in London by bike everyday saw what happened after the crash. He told the Wimbledon Guardian: "When I got to the scene of the collision there was (sic) some ambulances and police cars and a bus at an angle half in the bus lane, half out.

"I would normally have cycled past but I know several people that use that route on their journey so stopped to see if it was one of them." He said he also thought the person involved in the crash was a woman."

"I knew the woman very well, she worked in a nearby shop, opposite the library. She was running late to work, didn't have time to wait for the lights so she ran across the road.

Unfortunately she didnt see the bud (sic) coming, she has 3 children which go to Bond primary school. I would always ask her how she was. She was such a nice woman. R.I.P"

I can see that I was wrong about the merits of smashing your legs with a
a baseball bat.

A shotgun blast to the legs would be much more appropriate.

So terrible what's happened in Mitcham outside my house. This fog is dangerous man

It is not the fog that is dangerous: it is the speed at which motorists drive in the fog that is dangerous.

Yours must be a very sad life.

Certainly for those around you, perhaps even for you too.
