That is soooooo sad! Poor man and in particular his family. Tragic waste that could by all accounts have been avoided if said young person had not been drinking alcohol and driving.

Also, at the risk of seeming pedantic, I very much doubt that the cyclist 'was in collision' with the car: the driver hit him.

Thoughts and prayers with his family.

If it confirmed the river was over the drinking limit his licence should be permanently revoked, after he is released from custody!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Entirely agree with the sentiment but that's standard police language, replacing "accident" of years gone by (which made it sound like nobody was to blame).

RIP and condolences to all.
