1/1 AN “INTELLIGENT and polite” Southampton cyclist who died on a main road is thought to have collided with a bridge while not wearing a helmet. Southampton resident Declan Murray, 55, was pronounced dead on the B2150 in Droxford on August 10 2020. This was near the Station Road junction at approximately 11pm. PC Andrew Daw, forensic collision investigator, said that he was likely to have been travelling at around 25mph in almost complete darkness. The front tyre of his bike was also significantly under-inflated. “The only lights available on this road at this time of night were the lighting equipment that Declan had and the lights from other road users,” PC Daw told an inquest in Winchester.
