A cyclist in Reading, SE England was knocked down by a driver, and then attacked by an occupant of the car (its not clear from the report if this attacker was the driver or a passenger). The driver then made off from the scene.
The injuries sustained proved fatal, and TVP (Thames Valley Police) are now launching a murder investigation.
(Reading was once a relatively safe town to cycle in, I did so for 20 years when I lived there)
