Awful for all involved - especially the family. It seems some of that stretch of path is claimed by Cambs council as a cycle route separate from the road. But I don't think it's clear which side of the road they mean and, having driven/walked round there a good few times recently, I don't remember any shared space signage being present nearby. Clearly there is far more evidence in the case than is being presented by the press - especially since the bar for a manslaughter charge is pretty high. It's all very sad and appears to have been very avoidable.

Jurors heard the vehicle had "no chance to stop or take avoiding action" and Mrs Ward died at the scene.
Sure they didn't.

What a dreadful crash. This is the site:
It's quite clear from StreetView that this street carries very high volumes of through motor traffic, and while none of the footways are shared-use, it's understandable that riders would use them. In the face of the enormity of what happened, this is all irrelevant. Tragic.
