A pedal cyclist has died after riding into a parked car during the early
hours of the morning, police have said.
Officers believe the 40-year-old man struck the stationary blue Ford Focus
Zetec along Mildmay Grove North, in Islington, north London, at around 12.30am.

That's an odd one, because along that road, the carriageway has been
re-engineered in order to create parking lay-bys:

Obviously wasn't wearing a helmet, probably it will be claimed the
motorist was at fault, had he not parked there the accident could not
have occurred.

According to some, he was the vulnerable victim, so could not be to blame.

Yes it was dark and the motorist probably didn't have his lights on.
