(Unless there is a prosecution some months later).<br /> Although we all try to avoid speculation, in the absence of any official information, then people will do just that. Not saying your source is right or wrong. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=18289#post-265017 Mon, 30 Oct 2017 16:03:25 +0000 Frenchy 265017@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Not sure I should be repeating unconfirmed speculation, but someone on reddit is saying this was a dooring. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=18289#post-264842 Sat, 28 Oct 2017 19:28:46 +0000 neddie 264842@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Sad.</p> <p><em>APPEAL AFTER CYCLIST SADLY DIES FOLLOWING COLLISION IN BLACKFORD AREA</p> <p>We're appealing for witnesses following a fatal collision in the Blackford area of the city.</p> <p>The collision took place on Charterhall Road around 1pm yesterday (Friday) and involved a cyclist, travelling westbound, and a parked dark grey Mitsubishi car.</p> <p>The 61-year-old cyclist was taken to the Edinburgh Royal Infirmary, where he sadly passed away.</p> <p>The road was closed in both directions until around 3.30pm while investigations were conducted at the scene.</p> <p>Sergeant Neil Crozier of the Road Policing Unit said: "Our thoughts remain with the cyclists family at this difficult time and enquiries continue to establish the full circumstances surrounding this collision.
