2013-11-05 - Rider Down/Fatality, Bloomsbury Way / Southampton Row (London)

Londonist has some more details about the inquest here: http://londonist.com/2014/04/cyclist-and-pedestrian-die-in-separate-collisions.php

A witness, another cyclist, said ”I don’t think he was paying enough attention for two seconds of his journey and he really paid the consequence”.
Coroner Mary Hassell — who was extremely critical of cycle superhighways during inquests into the deaths of Brian Dorling and Philippine De Gerin-Ricard — summed up the incident by saying of Mr Golding “he just didn’t see [the coach]“. But she castigated Camden Council for a “lack of urgency” in improving the junction since his death in November 2013. The junction in Holborn has seen 77 collisions in the last 10 years, 29 involving cyclists and three which were fatal.
