Can you link to a google map of the location?
I am trying to install a scanner to up lift some of the police photographs of the accident site, however, having issues with the thing. Anyhow I have looked on the internet and found google-scout.com offer a possible good view of the accident site if you can get to grips with the thing. You need to locate the KC Stadium and then the A1105 westbound carriageway. On YouTube I have found two things of relevance to the accident site "Crumbling Structure of Hull's Anlaby Road Flyover" by the Hull Daily Mail the very last frames of this short film show the correct carriageway but further back from the accident site, but shows that the road is split into three lane the first been a cycle lane, the second a designated bus lane during the rush hours and finally the third lane for traffic. Additionally and also quite funny a film called "Riding a road bike through Kingston Upon Hull from Anlaby to Saltend" the frames of the film around about 3 minutes 30 second in the film show the other side of the carriageway. I know that you are a moderator, so I understand you interest in not only the accident but also what is up lifted on this site. However, despite my manner of cycling I cannot appreciate why I should be considered so much at fault for an accident within a short range from my home (within a few minutes of leaving the house), on a cycle (ending up on life support machine for four weeks) by a commercial vehicle towing a trailer that meant that it contravened their driving license entitlement, also the vehicle had a mechanical fault that meant that behind the vehicle a company mechanic was following to carry out the repairs on the next scheduled stop. As a matter of fact this mechanics police statement was for the three years after the accident the basis of my understanding of how I sustained my injuries. It was not until I received the police photographs (nearly four years after the accident) that I was able to fully learn how I got the injuries I did. Everything regarding this incident is completed, however, despite the opinion of everyone else, I still maintain that this vehicle was travelling too fast. It seems that travelling marginally above the speed limit is acceptable, even though for a cycle to travel above 30 mph requires a substantial amount of effort.
Immediately from the time of the accident until I learnt that the vehicle veered into the cycle lane, I found it hard to understand how this accident came to occur - because the police did not inform me that the van came to a halt utilising the entire cycle lane.
I only marginally infringed upon the traffic lane, if at all !! From the police statement the van driver thought that he could swerve into the cycle lane and manoeuvre around me, and the fault lay in my returning into the cycle lane, upon assessing the danger.
I know that this accident could have been avoided not only had the van stayed in the traffic lane, but braked rather than swerving into the cycle lane. I cannot also be certain if the van misinterpreted the road marking and thought the cycle lane was a traffic lane.
A major thing with this accident is the poor lay out of the road at this particular point, because it is the connecting point, where the new road (flyover) begins to meet the original road.
