Not good, I seriously suspect another vehicle !

Tragic.

I use that route most mornings, I had to admit, its a FAST road, I sat sit, without issues at 30Mph, motor vehicles in morning rush hour tend to only be able to do 35 ish, but I have also done it on a Saturday morning and been passed like I was stood still, harrowing, dont think i'll go that way , today.

That road is also in crap condition, the amount of times I have almost lost it due to road chippings and pot holes.

I use that one to extend my commute home and cut off through Royton up past Tandle Hill and St Cuthberts....dont go that way often...dodgy road!

RIP

Yes it is a fast road there got knocked off by a Kia Ceed and left for dead about 18months ago

Only know the make cos when he hit me he lost his wing mirror,Luckily I only suffered cuts and bruises

Looking at the Photo it appears he was on the section of road where the A627m turns into Broadway which is

a 40 limit, hence the camera to slow the traffic down from motorway speeds,

I would never contemplate using that stretch of broadway, especially as there is a perfectly good cycle

lane on top of that wall just visible on the right hand side

RIP

Poor bloke. Condolences to those he sadly left behind.
