Pavement cyclists beware, this could happen to you! If you think
riding on pavements is safer than using roads then think again!


"An 11-year-old girl was seriously injured when she was hit by a car
as she walked down a street.


The car struck a wall before hitting the girl and a woman and coming
to rest in a garden, police said.


Paramedics were called to the junction of Warstones Drive and Hamble
Road in Wolverhampton at 18:45 BST on Friday.


The girl is in a serious but stable condition. The woman and driver
were not seriously injured.


Insp Mark Watkins, from West Midlands Police, urged any witnesses to
contact the force.


"The young girl has suffered serious injuries and we have launched a
full investigation into how the car came to leave the road and collide
with her and the other pedestrian."


The road was closed for several hours while the vehicle, a Nissan
Almera, was recovered."

What a weird thing for the driver to do deliberately.


Ask Mrcheerful. Apparently he thinks that many cyclists kill people
deliberately, but the figures are probably suppressed (deliberately).
