No lights, dark clothing, you know what comes next
The accident happened on a dark, unlit road at 6.55pm on February 24.
Both Mr Pickard and Mr Gilbert were wearing dark clothing and neither of their bikes had lights or reflectors, the inquest heard. Coroner Trevor Kirkman read out from a statement given to police by Mr Denton following the accident. In it, Mr Denton said: "I overtook a car. I saw two shapes in the road in front of me. I swerved to the left but hit one of them head on. "I saw a person lying in the road. He was motionless." http://www.thisisleicestershire.co.u...#axzz2YflPlDxe |
