‘ after passing through Sawley. The ■three stopped a t the junction and Mr. Monk said the road was clear of traffic in the direction of Clitheroe. and there were two cars, one white and one black heading down Sawr. ley Brow about 150 metres apart.'


-Mr Monk crossed to the central; reservation and then went behind the white car to the nearside of the road." .


' , - .' Mr Dobson said he made the


decision to wait on the central reservation for the black car to pass


. and he was aware that Mr Whitak­ er was rolling down the hatchings in the centre of the carriageway. Neither of them saw the impact but both heard the black car and


cyclist collide. . Mr Jeff Duerden, the driver of


th e black car, said he had left Bamoldswick and was heading to his home in Dudley, West Mid­ lands; As he came down the hill he saw the first cyclist and slowed slightly and also saw the other two


cyclists on the central hatchings. “One of them just pulled out in


front of me,” said Mr Duerden. “He didn’t seem to look.” Accident - investigator PC


Richard Roberts said the front wheels of the car had locked under heavy braking and he had calculat-


■ ed the car’s speed a t 54 m.p.h. at •the start of braking and 47 m.p.h. a t impact. At no point did the car cross on to the hatched area. ■ The medical cause of death was


given as multiple crush injuries and coroner Michael Singleton record­ ed a verdict of accidental death.
