Justice (Lonpicman, Wikimedia Commons)Driver charged over cycling death of Olympic windsurfer Howard Plumb
A man from Sweden has been charged with causing the death through careless driving last September of Olympic windsurfer, Howard Plumb.
Bo Christer Lundmark, a computer consultant aged 54 from Umeå, has been summonsed to appear at Worthing Magistrates’ Court on 29 January, say Sussex Police.
Mr Plumb, aged 42 and from Emsworth in Hampshire, sustained serious head injuries on the afternoon of 5 July last year when he was struck by a Honda Jazz car driven by Lundmark.
Following the collision at Knight's Hill, Charlton, near Chichester, Mr Plumb was flown by air ambulance to St George's Hospital in south London but he died two days later.
He represented Great Britain in windsurfing at the Atlanta Olympic Games in 1996.

But that can't be right? Haven't we been told over and over again that registration plates are The Answer??
Just to add another way in which she is completely wrong, he already is on the road, just as she is.
It's far more common for a titanium frame to crack than a carbon.
Hmm, I don't know of any country myself that has hard-to-produce plates.
I'll obviously want to spend a minute to inflate a helmet every time I get on my bike, so like 2 to 5 times on a typical shopping trip....
So there you have it. Cars just don't want to do speeds lower than 30. No wonder they keep bolting and crashing into houses.
I don't know it to a level of detail to answer that, I'm afraid....
These look ace value to be fair.. with all the articles and conversations about the higher costs of bikes since brexit/covid/cost of living etc.. ...
I had this close pass which the Met police issued an NIP for:...
