Lying on the ground after a collision with a truck, cyclist Paul O’Callaghan started talking to a witness who came to help.

What he didn’t know was he was speaking to the mother of a teenager who had been killed in the same spot exactly two months earlier.

“She’s got tears in her eyes, and the first thing I say to her is, ‘Why are you crying?'” O’Callaghan recalled.
