A Cambridge businessman who opened the door of his ute without checking to see if any cyclists were riding past clipped a rider, sending the man crashing into the path of another ute that ran him over.
The cyclist - a Harrowfield man in his mid 40s - suffered horrific injuries, including a bad injury to his brain in spite of the fact he was wearing a helmet. His ribs were smashed and he had to have a metal plate inserted in his chest to hold them together.
