An 88-year-old woman is in a serious condition in hospital after
being hit by a cyclist, police have said.

The woman was walking along Cowling Brow in Chorley, Lancashire, when
she was struck at about 18:30 BST on Friday.

She fell to the ground and suffered head, chest and pelvic injuries.

Police said the road was closed for *THREE HOURS* (EMPHASIS MINE)
while investigations took place. They appealed for witnesses to
contact them.

I know this road and it is not a good road.
Chances are the cyclist was going hell for leather and not looking where he
was going.
If the lady dies I hope this **** on a bike is brought to law as a driver
would be.

Do we know who is guilty party is yet?

Does it matter? If a cyclist had been hit by a motorist on that road, lack of hi-vis and helmet would automatically make it the cyclists fault.
