Stockport Road, Timperley (via StreetView).pngManchester hit and run driver charged with causing cyclist's death by dangerous driving
A man from Wythenshawe has been charged with causing the death of a cyclist by dangerous driving. Vicky Myres was hit while riding on Stockport Road in Timperley on Sunday. 26-year-old Gurparthab Ajay Singh has also been charged with failing to stop after a road traffic collision and failing to report a road traffic collision.
The Manchester Evening News reports that police were called just before 8am. Footage from the newspaper shows police cars lining the road outside Timperley Sports Club, near the junction with Wood Lane.
24-year-old Myres, from Flixton, was taken to hospital, where she sadly died.
A second man, aged 35, was also arrested but has since been released under investigation.
Police Constable Phil Shaw of the Serious Collision Investigation Unit said: “Our thoughts are with the woman’s family at this difficult time.
“We have launched a full investigation into the circumstances surrounding this incident and I would ask that anybody with information contacts the Serious Collision Investigation Unit.
“We are particularly keen to speak to anyone that may have dash-cam or mobile footage of the incident.”
Anybody with information should contact the SCIU on 0161 856 4741, 101, or the independent charity Crimestoppers, anonymously, on 0800 555 111.
Alex has written for more cricket publications than the rest of the road.cc team combined. Despite the apparent evidence of this picture, he doesn't especially like cake.

So there you have it. Cars just don't want to do speeds lower than 30. No wonder they keep bolting and crashing into houses.

Don't want to relate this too much back to the Allison case but what about manslaughter as well. Leaving the scene potentially caused a delay in medical response or could be covering up other law breaking offences.
(edited as info was wrong).
Is it just me or is the UK being more aggressive in prosecuting cyclist killers? Ofcourse I don't really have other sources apart from road.cc and cyclingweekly regarding this, so it could just as likely be selective bias on the two sites.
RIP sister.
