Cyclist left to die on side of road

My thoughts & wishes go out to the family of this cyclist :( This is something I hope no one here will go through.

Apparently the road in question is one of the best on the NSW North Coast...

That is heart-rending and awful.

Is it in a remote area?

That's so tragic. :( I hate to think of her dying all alone...:(

Meanwhile, the woman who left the bicyclist-doctor to die by the side of the road in Ohio a year ago, was convicted last week only of misdemeanor hit-skip. Not leaving the scene of a fatality, and not even apparently assured clear distance ahead. :mad::mad: Sentencing to follow, but if she gets any jail at all, it'll be minimal.

They're only bicyclists, after all. Shouldn't have been on the road to begin with. :mad::mad:

Very sad. :( :mad:
