OPINION - I cannot escape the horror of seeing cyclist Gao Gao’s terrible hit-and-run death on CCTV
The images enter my sleep, and trouble me awake. A speeding car cannonballs across a wet road, flips and smashes head-on into a female cyclist riding home. This is no Netflix horror show. This was a residential street in Hackney on September 21 last year.
Gathered from council at Snaresbrook Crown Court last Friday. The packed, overheated room was silent but for horrified gasps and sobs from about a dozen of the cyclist’s family and close friends.
