Who Is To Blame for that cyclist’s death?
Sad news arrived from Cambridgeshire, Great Britain. A cyclist lost balance and fell off the footpath. She then got run over by a car and died. Rest in piece.
Let me sketch a picture of what happened. An elderly cyclist was cycling on the footpath *1. She met a pedestrian coming on foot from the other side. That pedestrian got angry, some shouting and gesticulation ensued, and as the cyclist tried to get out of the way, she lost balance, and fell into the road. There, A car driver found himself in the wrong place at the wrong time and hit the cyclist.
The pedestrian got sentenced for three years in prison for this. Case closed? Eh, I think we still have to ask questions.
