Cassie Posted August 17, 2009 Posted August 17, 2009 Sad sad senseless!! This makes me so angry!! R.I.P. Gerhard...I did not know you, but from what I read you were a great husband! Estelle, you are in our thoughts... People, be safe out there...it is a hostile environment.
Pickles Posted August 17, 2009 Author Posted August 17, 2009 Did they report this to the police??.. and have the police caught this motorist?? From what I can gather, it was a woman driving. She hit them head-on whilst overtaking (obviously on the right hand side of the road). The bottom line is that SPEED and IMPATIENCE and INTOLERANCE were more than likely involved. She has to live with herself for the rest of her life, and no punishment will bring Gerhard back. She'd better pray that the other cyclist, who is critical, pulls through.
