Outcome from a court case. Choice quotes include:
Bridges said when he got out of the car, Brown was not wearing a helmet. “I saw a helmet over on the grass, four to five feet away.”
Witness in the car behind: “A cyclist appeared on the roundabout from the right hand side. I saw the cyclist [in high viz] contrasted against the dark green foliage on the roundabout.
“I thought to myself ‘we’re going to have to stop’. I started braking, ordinarily. The BMW slowed but it didn’t stop."
'A forensic collision examiner who made videos of both the driver’s and cyclist’s views on their respective approaches to the scene of the crash said he could not account for why Bridges had not seen Brown.'
