Arthur Robert Hyde

Age: 24

Sex: male

Date: 6 Apr 1927

Place: Great North Road, Grantham

Arthur Robert Hyde was knocked off of his bicycle.

A yardman said that he had been cycling along the Great North Road at about 10.15pm at Washdyke Lane near Stoke Park about six miles south of Grantham when a blue or black saloon car being driven dangerously, wobbling from one side of the road to the other overtook him. He said that it was going at about 20-25mph. He said that about two minutes later he heard a crash like the report of a gun and then about a quarter of a mile on he saw Arthur Hyde lying on the grass on the left-hand side of the road. He said that no other car, cycle or vehicle had passed him in any direction.
