CTC member Mark Brummell killed in the New Forest

CDF was shocked to learn of the death of Mark, who was killed when he was hit by a car driven by a 59-year-old man from Christchurch, on May 28th and would like to express our condolences to Marks’s friends and family.

The driver of the car has been arrested and released on bail on suspicion of causing death by careless driving. CTC's Stop SMIDSY campaign has been tracking cases like this to document how effective the criminal justice system is when it comes to the deaths of cyclists.
