School boy rides into me head on whilst staring down at his phone

24 May, 2023 - 3 years ago - on Melton Road

I was riding along Melton Road in Queniborough on my way to work when a school boy was riding towards me on the cycle path. He was paying no attention to the road ahead and was swerving all over the pavement, whilst staring down at his phone(no hands on the handlebars). I tried to shout to get his attention but with no success, he rode straight into me, and fell over, injuring himself with cuts, causing bleeding. It could’ve ended very badly if he had fell onto the road instead of the grass verge.
