Am not trolling, I simply would like to know the severity of the issue and the incidents that we should have learned from.
A cyclist was killed in Victoria park after crashing into the gates around the railway. It is a main reason that the crossing was reconstructed and the gates were opened .
Thanks. What were the circumstances? For example, was it in the dark? (Now the trail is lit.) Or were there other contributing factors why the cyclist had such a serious (and presumably high-speed) crash?
Does this regularly happen in other cities, too? My attempts at searching were unsuccessful, possibly I'm not using the right keywords for the search.
