Humberside Police was taken to Hull Royal Infirmary where he remains and no arrests have been made.

A Humberside Police spokeswoman said: "A man is receiving treatment in hospital for serious head injuries following a road traffic collision in Hull yesterday evening Wednesday, June 12.

The delivery driver ... saw the accident as it unfolded.

He told Hull Live last night: “It was a foreign man who was clearly
intoxicated walking along the path to Washington Street. His mate was on
the other side of the road and they started shouting to each other.

“Then he skidded and went straight under the car. It was awful.”

That hardly sounds as though it can have been the fault of the drver of
the vehicle.

But enough of that... what about the cyclist?

What did he or she see?
