Woman dies in bike crash moments after taking smiling selfie


A mum of two died moments after taking this
smiling selfie on her way home.
Carmen Greenway, 41, was cycling home after having
a meal at a pub to celebrate her mum's birthday when
she hit a rough patch of road and lost control.
She fractured her skull and died six days later in St
Mary's Hospital in Paddington, central London, after
suffering a cardiac arrest.
Carmen's heartbroken husband Rufus Greenway, 47,
said his wife who was not wearing a helmet ,had a
drink before cycling home and may have had one
hand on the handlebars when she crashed.But he said
his wife was a "very competent" cyclist,UK Mirror
reports.

"She had been taking some selfies on the main
road, she did that regularly and was media
savvy," Rufus said.
"She was not taking it at the moment of the
accident. She was 100m from our house, one
hand on the bars, quite relaxed, and probably
had had a drink. She cycled that way every
weekend and perhaps it's familiarity breeding
contempt.
