thoughts go out to the cyclists family. i take that road to travel to my mother in law's house it is narrow and cars and lorries travel at stupid speeds along it then when you get to the traffic system in widnes. well all i can say is i'm suprised this has not happened sooner.
horrible.

That's awful

I ride that way a lot - it's my route back from riding in Cheshire. I used to use that exact stretch of road but in the end I just felt too uncomfortable there, so now I turn off down Bennett's Lane and use the industrial estate instead. It's deeply shocking, and yet all too predictable.

Totally shocking news about the cyclist. However, it's a bit harsh to blame the tipper driver without having full knowledge of what happened. A friend of mine actually passed the other way in his tipper as the accident happened. The victim's family must be distraught, but so must the driver's, he's got to live with it too, spare a thought eh!

Where in my one line post, do I blame the driver?

I know the area well.

How terribly sad.

Same here. Terrible. Not the widest of roads, but not the worst.

Two fatalities in a week - shocking. Condolences to all touched by these tragedies. See Me Save Me may be able to help the family of the Widnes case.

Very sad indeed, that area is nightmare in a car, never mind on a bike. It's even worse now since the new Tesco opened! RIP

I was unlucky enough to pass this accident about 5 minutes after it happened on my way home. I cant think of a worse sight than a crumpled bike and a white sheet covering the poor guy that was riding it. I guess its a case of there by the grace of god go I. R.I.P.

Yes it's an awful thing to happen to anybody and their families. I have ridden that stretch a fair few times and you really cannot be too careful. Plenty of other areas in warrington also (where i live) that scare the crap out of me. Times like this you realise how mortal you are.
RIP
