Crash, who killed the cyclist “inevitable”, hears an investigation

A woman who fatally beat a cyclist while driving said that she couldn't do anything to stop him and she thinks “every single day” about how an examination heard.

The 56 -year -old David Fanning from Penced, Corwen, Denbighshire, drove towards Llangollen towards Llangollen on the evening of January 31, 2022 when he was hit by a car.

Despite the attempts to revive Mr. Fanning, he died of serious breast injuries at the scene.

During the investigation in Ruthin, a forensic investigator described the crash as “inevitable”, while a forensic doctor said that Mr fanningen “reduces his visibility to other street users”.

Driver Lowri Williams said that she currently had a look at her gear stick and when she looked up, was “suddenly” a cyclist who was wearing dark clothes.

She told John Gittins, Senior Coroner for North Wales East and Central, tried to swirl, but the vehicle hit Mr. Fanning.

She estimated that her speed was between 50 and 55 miles per hour in a zone of 60 km / h.

After seeing him in the street, she called in 999, while another passing driver – a nurse District – led HLW over him.

Miss Williams said she was arrested at the scene after the incident, but was released after the survey without charges.

She became more bulky by the police and found that she was under the legal beverage brim.

“I wish I could have changed what happened, but I couldn't. There was nothing to prevent it from happening,” she said.

Ian Thompson, investigator of the forensic collision, created a report on the name of the police in North Wales and said: “In my opinion, this collision was inevitable.”

His results agreed with Miss Williams, who flooded at the last minute based on a response time of about 1.6 seconds.

He told the investigation that Miss Williams' telephone was examined and it was not used at that time.

Mr. Thompson accepted that although the light of MR Fanning's bicycle could not be found, that it was possible to be dropped and lost during the crash.

William Tyler, who represents the family of Mr. Fanning, informed the investigation that she had “concerns about the way Mr. Thompson's collision was modeled”.

His family said cycling has been preferred by Mr. Fannings since childhood.

With a friend at the age of 18 he drove to France with a friend and was a popular member of the Cycling Club Community, including Bala Cycling Club.

Other drivers showed that Mr. Fanning drove the A5 along the A5 that day, and most said that he was wearing dark clothes and they couldn't see any taillights.

A witness said that they had discovered him “at the last minute” because of his pedal reflectors and to avoid him.

Mr. Gittins came to the conclusion that Mr. Fanning's death was caused by a road traffic collision.
