Sad. His family must be devastated.

And I noticed this anomaly in the reporting, without much surprise:

"died after his bike collided with a Honda Jazz ...
... A 54-year-old man from Sweden has been arrested on suspicion of driving without due care and attention."

So it was probably the car that "collided" with the bike rather than the other way round. Maybe I'm being too instantly suspicious, maybe the car pulled out badly and the bike collided with the car. Anway - result

I noticed the 'bike collided with a Honda Jazz' thing too. How often to cyclists do the colliding?

RIP Howard Plumb.
Condolences to his family.
