“At the moment the matter is still with the police and we do not have any more specific information.”

Cycling during commuting hours can be a risky business with increased numbers of vehicles on the roads all rushing to get to work on time. Although the mornings and evenings are getting lighter, it can still be a dangerous journey and cyclists and drivers must be alert and responsive at all times. Unfortunately accidents still happen and it is important to get the right support when they happen.
Cycling accidents can be devastating. A cyclist is often left dazed and confused after an accident and it is important to try and get witnesses to give you their details if they saw what happened and contact the Police immediately.
