2022-06-?? Pedestrian down (fatality, hit by cyclist), Regent's Park Outer Circle

There are various reports from the inquest into Hilda Griffiths' death, which happened 'on a Saturday in June 2022' around 7am. I can't find the exact date in the reports. She was hit by a rider called Brian Fitzgerald, who was the third rider in a group passing her. She may have been walking her dog at the time. The reports state that the crash happened 'near Hanover Terrace', and there are two possible central islands near there which could be meant. Fitzgerald will not be prosecuted over the incident.

Police concluded there was “insufficient evidence for a real prospect of conviction” and the case was closed with “no further action”.

Detective Sergeant Ropafadzo Bungo told Inner West London Coroners Court there were “no specific” signs indicating a speed limit for cyclists and a police review concluded “there were no criminal acts which would allow prosecution” should a cyclist exceed the general speed limit.

Importantly:

The death will not be officially recorded as a result of the collision as it took Mrs Griffiths 59 days to die from head injury “complications”, the Telegraph reported.

The accident took place shortly after 7am on a Saturday in June 2022 near Hanover Terrace and resulted in Mrs Griffiths vomiting blood in the ambulance, suffering multiple fractures and bleeding in her brain.

I think it doesn't make sense not to record the death as a result of this collision, and the time cut-off applied here is too rigid. There can't be any doubt that her death was caused by the crash.

RIP Hilda Griffiths.
