Last week, there was another severe crash involving a 10 year old cyclist. He was hit by a car and airlifted to hospital with life-threatening injuries. Fortunately, he seems to be in stable conditions.

(Sorry for posting here but at the moment the system does not allow me to open new threads.)

As usual, the driver was cleared in court. http://www.yourlocalguardian.co.uk/news/10112619.Footballer__could_not_have_stopped__before_hitting_boy_on_bike__inquest_hears/

A very rare accidental death verdict. Interesting that the police testified that the driver was within the speed limit and could not have avoided the impact. Tragic all round.
