my thoughts and prayers are with the rider, family and friends.

11 this year, thus far. Tragic. My condolences to her family and friends.

Terrible to hear. My condolences.

that is a shocking/terrible stat.
@ catfood - cant believe the cops would make that comment at the scene. heartless idiot.

RIP

Very very sad. I passed the scene of the accident on Sunday afternoon. I know that junction well and it is not a good one. It was really hard to go through the road last night knowing what happened and thinking of that woman and her family.

very sad. RIP

Heartbreaking. RIP

This is dreadful. I can't work out if it's a head-on collision from the reports or what could have happened. At any rate, it sounds like a horrible driving error. RIP unknown victim.

shit, I used to live just near there. cavendish road has a horrible surface, loads of potholes and craters. how sad, awful news.

mind you, have just seen the video of where the accident happened. Not the surface obviously. I always feel very vulnerable when riding along that stretch

terrible terrible news

Very sad news to hear.

RIP.

my condolences to friends and family, terrible news.

I rode that road when I was going for my lesson, what strike me is that I can't see anything badly compromised on that stretch of road.

real sad to hear about the poor cyclist, though for her friends and families in this terrible time.

Just heard. RIP.

It's not a great road to get across, but on a Sunday morning is not when you'd expect that.
