This is very close to home for me. The road where the cyclist died is about 500m from where I'm sat at work. The road where the driver crashed into other vehicles is about the same distance from where I live. Tonight, at about the same time the incident happened, I'll be riding past the site of the death.
I ride these roads daily, it's almost inevitable that the driver has passed me. I don't want to feel lucky that I'm still alive.
Rest in peace rider.
