2011-06-21 - Rider Down, Hackney Road

Peter McGreal's funeral is this coming Thursday.
I know this because I was just chatting to my oldest friend and it turns out that one of his colleagues was one of Peter's best friends. He left behind a one year old son and a wife who is not coping at all well with the death. This sub-forum continues to list the latest collisions and the horror of each incident recedes from our minds but for the family and friends left behind it does not abate.

A tragedy. Condolences to his family and friends.

so so sad. my condolences

Just bumped into a friend and found out it was her husband that died. Apparently she waited 4 days by his bedside in hospital. Am in total shock

thoughts and prayers with the dead rider, family and friends.

awful that our policy makers just keep obfuscating.

It is frightening that these disasters affect so many other people.
