Default Another cyclist that just fell off while riding on the pavement.

Originally this was reported as a hit and run, but the truth came out at the
inquest.
A CYCLIST riding along the pavement beside the A259 De La Warr Road,
Bexhill, lost control just before he was passed by an articulated lorry, an
inquest heard.


In the one-and-a-half seconds police expert PC Adrian Short calculated that
it took the lorry to pass, the cyclist fell into the road and struck his
head on the carriageway, suffering fatal head injuries.

Thank goodeness for cctv:

Eight 'stills' taken from a CCTV camera mounted in the lorry's cab showed Mr
Cramp beginning to lose control as driver Stephen Ramsden, 60, from Morley,
Leeds, approached.

The court heard evidence that suggested at no time had cycle and lorry come
into contact
