Nasty and very sad - thoughts with the family. Head on and the driver also then went off the road and was injured - narrow in places but otherwise pretty straightforward looking B road. Be careful out there guys

It's a road I cycle all the time. Am planning to head that way tomorrow! Not good!!

How awful, I used to drive that way to a previous work. Thoughts go out to the family.

It's not a nice road, bendy and always a bit dark and damp. Several times I came across drivers going too fast on the wrong side of the road.

Grim stuff - total waste of a bloke at the top of his game - no coverage yet of any action against the driver

Indeed, another wasted life.

Are there any more details about the accident though?
