Keep us informed. Looks pretty nasty.

Doesn't sound good:

Given the position of the car, I'm guessing this was a right hook but hard to say for sure.

God that looks horrible.

They say "a man is being treated for cardiac arrest" - maybe that's the driver and hitting the cyclist was the result? Awful either way.

Sure, could be. Wouldn't want to speculate too much. Lazy reporting though.

The guy died on the way to head injury unit, It's the area that our cycle club use, but as of yet we don't know who he was,
Thoughts go out to the family.

A horrible tragedy indeed, but let's please not exaggerate the risks of cycling. In those same eight days that five people died cycling, there were 3,484 deaths from cardiovascular disease. Many of those people would have lived had they been getting regular exercise. It is far safer to cycle than not.
