A YORK cyclist died after failing to see a parked car until the last
moment and then crashing into the back of the vehicle, an inquest heard.

A peaked baseball cap worn by Colin Marron may have obscured his view of
the stationary BMW as he was cycling along Holgate Road, said North
Yorkshire Police collision investigator, PC Paddy Green.

he had been riding a bike with drop handlebars which tended to encourage
riders to look down rather than up.

CCTV had shown that Mr Marron had spotted the parked BMW when just a
metre away from it and then swerved, but he was unable to avoid the
collision, in which he hit the back windscreen, shattering the glass.

I hope he had fridge freezer insurance.
