Icy conditions and car accident claims

A tragic car accident in January 2006 resulted in the death of four cyclists and serious personal injuries of another four cyclists. The road accident involved a Toyota Corolla skidding and then colliding into a group of 12 members from Rhyl Cycling Club, North Wales . However, the car accident was not a result of speeding, drink driving or any other form of reckless driving and there were reports of black ice on the road.

Fourteen-year-old Thomas Harland was among the fatalities. What makes this teenager’s death ironic is the fact that he was campaigning for safer cycling routes to prevent the likelihood of cyclists being involved in car accidents.

This car accident illustrates just how important it is for both cyclists and car drivers to be extra cautious on the roads during the winter. Icy weather conditions account for many accidents and although local authorities aim to grit the roads to prevent road accidents it is possible for small areas to be overlooked.
