I wonder what the outcome of this will be. http://www.htvwales.com/htvwales-cgi/news/show?id=12 I do wish these reports included a short comment about how the *accident* happened, so the rest of us could be made more aware of how *not* to cycle in a group. Such as .. was he at the back of the group? front of the group? riding alongside another (or more) riders? on a narrow winding road? after dark with no lights? In a dark section of road with lots of tree cover after coming from bright sunshine? [[ That always worries me ]]. |

However there is more information over on veloriders with a report by someone who was a witness. http://www.veloriders.co.uk/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=5236 Well ... It was just the same as the other news report. Nothing to describe how it happened (without apportioning blame). Reading those forums I now now know why I HATE avtars on forums. One in particular there, totally inappropriate. |

And, alas, another. This time a child.
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/suffolk/3151271.stm "Child cyclist dies in coach accident A young girl has been killed in a road accident in Ipswich. A Suffolk Police spokesman said the girl, who has not been named, was riding a bicycle which was involved in a collision with a coach. The accident happened at around 1230 BST on Landseer Road between Raeburn Road and Reynolds Road. Police have closed Landseer Road and set up diversions for motorists while officers at the scene investigate the cause of the accident." No other details given. Every parent's worst nightmare, I think. Children aren't supposed to go before their parents. :-( helen s ~~~~~~~~~~ This is sent from a redundant email Mail sent to it is dumped My correct one can be gleaned from h$**$*$el$**e$n$**$d$**$o$*$t**$$s$**$im$mo$ns*@a$ **o$l.c$$*o$*m*$ by getting rid of the overdependence on money and fame ~~~~~~~~~~ |

I have few details of the accident, but I can say that Landseer Rd is a busy 30mph-limited single carriageway urban route into the docks and centre of Ipswich, with lots of HGV and bus as well as car traffic. The section concerned has council housing on both sides, and is regularly crossed by children going to the local park, etc. There are traffic islands at Reynolds Rd and a zebra crossing just beyond Raeburn Rd. I use the road fairly regularly and don't recall seeing small children cycling along it often. The coach was going west, towards the town centre. It appeared to be rather old (someone I know passed the scene), so its mechanical condition may have been a factor. Pure speculation, though. Mark |
