  • Cyclist dies in crash with car in Julians Road

    From Simon Mason@21:1/5 to All on Thu Oct 5 02:12:54 2023
    A CYCLIST has died in a collision with a car.

    Police were called by the ambulance service to reports of a collision on the B3078 Julians Road, Wimborne, involving a car and a bicycle at 10.11pm on Wednesday.

    The rider of the bicycle, a man aged in his 40s, sustained serious injuries and died at the scene. His family has been informed and the Coroner notified.

    The car involved is reported to be a red Vauxhall Corsa and the driver, a local woman aged in her 20s, was arrested on suspicion of driving offences.

    Road closures are in place along Julians Road between the Pye Corner roundabout and the junction of the A31. These closures are expected to remain in place for some time.

    Police Sergeant Gareth Thomas, of the traffic unit, said: “An investigation into this collision is underway and I am appealing to anyone who saw what happened or witnessed the Corsa being driven immediately after the collision to please get in touch.

    “I am particularly keen to hear from any motorists who were travelling along that stretch of the road at the time and may have captured anything of relevance on their dashcam.

    “The road is expected to remain closed for some time while we carry out our detailed examination of the area.

    “Our thoughts today are with the man’s family and friends at this very difficult time.”

    I’m sure I read of this earlier…

    It does not say just how many "driving offences" the driver was arrested for.

    Or what they were alleged to be (if anything at all).

    Of course, for nutters like May Sun (and a lot of other chavs), merely
    owning a car is an offence. Except when they own one.

    The cyclist was killed so that will ramp up the severity of the charges.

    How does that work, then?

    Don't you want any footage from helmetcams again?
    Why exclude them all the time?
