Anyone know the cyclist who got hit by a car on Wednesday (23 Nov) in Brighton?

If anyone here knows of a cyclist who got hit by a car on Wednesday
(23rd Nov) in Brighton, I have the following request to pass on :

Don't suppose via your cycling forum that you have heard anything
about
a cyclist who was hit in Brighton yesterday? Clare at work's grandad
blacked out at the wheel and hit him. Apparently he had a broken leg.
She wants to know he was so she can send him some flowers.

Yes, I've suggested that Clare's grandad hand in his licence ...

Might also suggest that he send something a little more useful than flowers.
Replacement bike comes to mind!

Do they not make you hand over your license in such a case anyway?

(quick Google)...

Yes they do. Apparently if a doctor thinks you are medically unfit, he is
required by law to report this to the licensing authority. Whether or not
the doctor actually does in this case may be another matter...

crime by hit and running?

I hope I die in my sleep like my grandfather, not screaming in the back
seat like his passengers.

The guy who hit me doesn't have my details, because I was taken in an
ambulance (and I don't have his, because I wasn't up to asking for his
details before I was taken away). The police do, though. And it will
take a $35 FOI request to get the details of the other party.

Sheesh.

But if things get to that point, it may be worthwhile doing that, so you
can file in small claims. Hopefully it won't. Good luck.

I'm sure we can do mate's rates on having someone use those details though...
