Report highlights flaws in investigation of cyclist's death
National cyclists’ charity CTC has called for more funding for roads policing after a report into Kent Police’s investigation of the death of a cyclist killed in a collision with a lorry highlighted a series of flaws in its handling of the case. It warns that unless more money is made available, the standard of investigations could worsen.
Marc Dunk, aged 28, was fatally injured when he was struck by the lorry as he cycled to work from his home in Margate in February 2010, with a coroner’s inquiry concluding that his death was accidental.
