A schoolgirl died while out cycling with her mother just days after Christmas after falling off her bike and into the path of an oncoming van, an inquest has heard.
Experienced cyclist Caitlin Swan was out on a ride with her mother Victoria in Cornwall when tragedy stuck.
An inquest has heard the mother and daughter were travelling at up to 25mph while going downhill in Stithians, when Caitlin suffered a 'wobble' on her road bike as a van turned off in front of them.
She fell to the right and hit an oncoming van, with her mother, Victoria, telling an inquest she 'never stood a chance'.
