According to Doug, this would have been the lorry driver's fault

PERIL OF HEADPHONES EXPOSED AFTER GIRL CYCLIST DIES IN CRASH

Same story here.

If you don't want to read the whole story, here it is in a nutshell:
Cyclist wearing headphones, rides straight out of a junction, slams
into lorry, and dies.

Scarily enough, if you do a search in the words "cyclist inquest
headphones" there are a worryingly large number of hits (though many
duplicates). It's a similar madness as drivers who insist on using
their hand-held phones while driving.

Nothing wrong with bikes/cycling, but a little sense of self-
preservation is definitely worth while.
