I'm not sure that HGV-cyclist death patterns are best explained by the Poisson distribution, though. What are the clusters you are proposing?
Random clusters. The point is that 'random' doesn't mean 'evenly spread out', you get some clustering just by chance. Often people notice random clusters and think something special is making them happen when nothing is, it's just chance.
But other times, there is something special happening.
