Commiserations to friends and family.

Sympathies and condolences to family and friends. Bad news at any time but more so just before Xmas. I do hope they ID the driver.

Sad news. Christmas will be a tough time for her/him family and friends from now on. Hope they catch the driver. Actually I hope the driver hands her/himself in, come on driver, do the right thing.

Very sad. Not stopping is extremely poor and smacks of guilt. Hope someone turns them in.

Condolences to family and friends. Think that is 2 killed cycling on Glasgow roads in as many weeks.

wallace1492 - I'm pretty sure the link you posted is the incident a close friend of one of my wife's work colleagues was involved in - he's alive but has serious injuries. Both femurs broken and pelvis smashed to bits among other injuries. Apparently he was waiting at the lights at Park Road and a car ploughed straight into the back of him. Luckily a Doctor was in a car at the lights and was able to help immediately. Probably saved his life.
