Cyclist fails to stop after colliding and seriously injuring a pedestrian in Connah’s Quay

A 62 year old man received serious injuries on Sunday evening after he was struck by a cyclist in Connah’s Quay.

Brian Sheady and his wife were walking home from Connah’s Quay Labour Club just before 9.20pm when a cyclist collided with him near Fron Road garages.

Mr Sheady received severe concussion, bruised ribs, shattered shoulder and a black eye – his son Nathan said.

He added; “The cyclist didn’t stop, and was caught by CCTV riding from the scene and up Breeze Hill at 9:16pm, the cyclist was wearing dark clothes, didn’t have any lights and continued riding”

Nathan shared a series of images of his Dad in hospital, he told Deeside.com his dad wants the pictures shared to promote awareness in a bid to stop the “reckless nature of the few cyclists who put pedestrians in danger.”
