Cyclist killed near Wolverhampton

[lofty]

Just seen this on the front page of our local paper :-

A cyclist and a driver have died in two seperate incidents on roads near Wolverhampton.
The 20 year old cyclist was pronounced dead at the scene on the A4123 Birmingham New Road between Coseley and Dudley after a collision with a car yesterday.
The dual carriageway was closed in both directions for more than tree hours while police carried out investigations.
The accident happened between Bronwen Road and Bean Road at about 3.30pm.
A Vauxhall Vectra and Paugot 206 were both at the scene of the tragedy after it happened , But ambulance officials said the accident had involved only one car.

I`ll post a link tomorrow if there`s any more news

bad day for cyclists, we had one knocked off and left at the side of the road by someone who didn't stop.

Just read teh lancashire linked. I did not realise at the time of my first post that this was another fatality. How shocking that someone could leave an injured person alone and not call 999.

You mean given 3 points and a £50 fine? Yes, I expect you are probably right.
