Sun wriggle HGV driver is jailed
QUOTE:
"Marek Witulski, (40), was driving southbound on the A141 near Chatteris on December 3, 2018, when the incident occurred. Hilary Cox, (59), was cycling home to Chatteris after work at the Green Welly Café in Doddington Road, a route she had taken regularly for many years. She had gone about half a mile when Witulski came from behind travelling in the same direction and his lorry made contact with her bicycle handlebars. This caused Cox to fall from the bike onto the road, resulting in a significant head injury. Witulski stopped the HGV further up the road as he “heard a noise.” Despite the best efforts of staff at Addenbrookes Hospital in Cambridge she died the following day. An investigation into what happened found Witulski had been speaking to his wife on a hands free phone at the time. In addition, he admitted in interview the sun bouncing off the wet road had impaired his vision but he had made no attempt to rectify the situation, continuing to drive while dazzled. Witluski, of Thistle Gardens, Spalding, pleaded guilty of causing death by careless driving." https://www.peterboroughtoday.co.uk/...jailed-1376695 |

All this and yet some people get far more uptight about a person astride a bicycle instead of being alongside. |
