I expect the pavement was blocked by a load of abandoned vehicles as

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


You can easily find the url from earlier messages (if you fixed your
news reader properly).

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


The article makes no mention of a pavement. You can be certain the
reporter would be all over it if there was any hint of wrong doing.


Cowling Brow, Chorley? There is a footway on either side of the road.
But you prefer - for understandable reasons - to believe that an elderly
and vulnerable lady pedestrian was walking down the middle of the
carriageway.

Can you spell "evasive"?
