Default Cyclist kills pensioner - 25mph

Cyclist killed pensioner by crashing into him while doing 25mph along
narrow country lane on dark and rainy night.

A post-mortem found Mr Jones died of two fractures to the left side of
the skull and 'severe' chest injuries, including 11 fractured ribs.
GPS statistics from the bike showed Mr Eakins was travelling at 25.1mph
on impact with Mr Jones.

The inquest was also told that the narrow lane was just 3.3m wide and
had no footpaths - 'forcing pedestrians to be in the carriageway' - and
that the area has 'poor' street lighting.

Another irresponsible cyclist.
