• I read it this morning and I am still truly stirred by it. Also in conflict with myself about what to think. It is clear that the lorry driver didn't want to injure anyone, and that he travelled very slow speed. It is not entirely conclusive from the witness statements whether he overtook or whether the woman undertook the lorry, but it's definitely clear that if he had run her over he wouldn't even have felt it:

    Counsel: Did you think there'd been a collision with the cyclist?

    ME: No. The weight of the truck means that you can't feel anything like
    a cone or whatever that you run over.

    The pictures I have in my head now are truly grim.
    I am so sad for everyone involved. Please everyone, be safe out there!
