the lorry driver already been arrested, was a gullivers hire?? scaffold type lorry

he was well through the junction, he has either gone through the red light with bike coming from the right on the roundabout, or he has rear ended the bike hard amd kept travelling

bike was a mess, looked like a GSX1100 sports touring bike? goldy brown colour with hard luggage etc, Im not all that up on modern bikes but thats what it looked like

I hope the driver has the book thrown at him, but I expect it will sadly result in a local clamp down on bikes

Went past the accident today literally 5-10 mins after it happened, looked a right mess too.
Such a shame it ended being a fatal one.

Thanks for the concern too, had a few worried calls and msgs today

tragic news. why can't people just think what they are doing instead of driving so recklessly. no criminal sentence would be adequate. thoughts to his family and friends .
