Brian Fitzgerald, a vice president at Credit Suisse, has escaped prosecution after colliding with and killing retired teacher Hilda Griffiths, 81, while cycling in a 20mph zone. The incident occurred as Fitzgerald was doing timed laps around Regent’s Park, London, with a Peloton group.

The collision, which resulted in Griffiths suffering severe injuries including bleeding in her brain and multiple fractures, ultimately led to her death. Despite the tragic outcome, Fitzgerald faced no legal repercussions due to a loophole in the law that exempts cyclists from adhering to speed limits imposed on motor vehicles.
