Multiple hit-and-run, horrific circumstances

[Crankarm]

So she was alive when the ambulance crew arrived to treat her but sadly died shortly after at 7:20am. She was apparently using a controlled pedestrian crossing at abut 6:45am when she was first struck. Surely at 6:45am on a monday morning there would have been lots of people around at this junction but no good Samaritans. Shocking.

She was on a crossing, but reports say the vehicles had the green light. There is nothing in the reporting to suggest she wasn't immediately attended to by passers-by.

But the story is getting worse. It seems 5 vehicles struck her, but none stopped.

It is possible she was looking the 'wrong' way for traffic, Sari (my Finnish ex) used to do this every now and then inadvertently, luckily she was never injured but came close once or twice.

BTW this takes nothing away from the fact that multiple drivers ran her over and didn't stop which is truly appalling.

I am going to paraphrase the oft posted one here


" green doesn't mean you can drive through lights with Gay abandon"

Pedestrians have priority on all roads except those covered by specific legislation ....


its truly shocking what has happened . but not unexpected. https://www.cyclechat.net/threads/give-me-some-dialogue-from-your-day.91901/post-2864538

I was the only one that stopped a #bloodycyclist hey and i got abuse from those going past who assumed I was the person who had knocked him over ...

even the underground staff didn't want to call an ambulance .....

No, sure. I was just clarifying the - apparent - facts.
