What happened?
Susan was cycling downhill on a road along the Trans Pennine Trail with friends when a taxi suddenly pulled out from a side road into her path.
With no time to react, she collided with the vehicle, hitting the bonnet and falling heavily onto the road.
The accident resulted in significant injuries, including:
- A fractured knee
- Severe bruising to her hip and leg
Although she did not require surgery, the injuries were serious enough to disrupt her daily life and routine.
What was the impact on her life?
The consequences of the accident were both physical and practical.
Susan:
- Was unable to work for around 10 weeks
- Experienced pain and limited mobility during recovery
- Was forced to pause her hobbies, particularly cycling
As a keen cyclist, the injury had a major impact on her lifestyle, preventing her from enjoying regular exercise and outdoor activities.
The accident also caused financial strain due to time off work and damage to her specialist cycling equipment.
