Notice how the article says that she "was hit by a cyclist"? In other
circumstances she would have "been in collision with a car".

I expect the pavement was blocked by a load of abandoned vehicles as in
the picture which forced her to walk in the road.


You have snipped the source URL but there was no mention of the victim
walking in the road (ie, the carriageway).

What are the relative chances of the victim walking on the carriageway
and the cyclist not hurtling along the footway?
