Undoubtedly insensitive journalism. Although, having said that, it was all the stuff in the road that made it particularly forcefully awful to look at this morning, it just really highlighted for me that this person has a life and a routine just like me, and they chose which scarf to wear this morning, and put all their bits and bobs in their handbag then... In a way it brings it home more; I guess if the picture means the article has a similar effect that actually seeing this in person did on me this morning, then it might encourage everyone (cyclists, drivers) to be a bit more careful - even if it's only for the next couple of days. Poor woman. The two accidents at the roundabout these 10 days have made me feel really upset as this is my regular commute. I really hope both people make a full recovery.
