    What for, if no-one else can possibly be blamed?

    Another cyclist SVA death. Some 1 in 6 cyclist deaths are SVAs, and no-one seems to be researching the causes.

    Alcohol, training, inexperience, hubris, road surface, defective bicycle,
    who knows? The cycle world doesn’t seem interested as these situations have
    a much lower profile than the occasional cyclist collision at a roundabout
    that will need £millions to address.

    Like 4x4s -- these things are a bugger for toppling over.

    Motorists heading south on the M5 through Somerset faced long delays after an incident involving an overturned caravan closed the motorway on Thursday (June 1). Two lanes remained closed until 10am following the accident on the southbound carriageway
    between Bridgwater and Taunton.

    Drivers had been warned of delays of around 60 minutes after a 4x4 vehicle towing a caravan overturned at around 6.40am. Emergency services attended and one person has been taken to hospital.

    The original report said (quotes):

    a bike crash
    bike overturned

    The word ‘quad’ has been post-facto inserted in the OP. Naughty..,

    Some people are a bugger for telling porkies.

    Exactly.
