Condolences to the riders Family and friends.

Rest in Peace.
Condolences to all who grieve for her.

Just read this, came here to post it.

It makes me so angry, such a rotten waste of a great old lass who still rode at 77. It doesn't matter what bloody car hit her, but you can't help but feel angry that a high performance sports car took out a person pottering on, minding her own business.
I'll be watching the progress of this one through the courts.

RIP

At least the bbc has "hit by" rather than "collided with".

Hi
I don't have any details to add on how the incident happened but just wanted to post as my wife and I were good friends of hers.
she was a very active lady who travelled the road on which she died every day to take flowers to her husbands grave and had been doing this for many years it must have brought her a lot of comfort and they must have been very close she will now be with him.
RIP M

Heartbreaking.

Condolences to all who knew her and her family.
