LOVED ones of cyclist Terry Brown have installed a fitting tribute to the father-of-three at the scene of the fatal crash – one year on from his death.

A ghost bike now stands at the location of the crash where the 47-year-old was killed following a hit-and-run collision on Warrington Road, Bold Heath, on February 18, 2014.

Family and friends paid tribute to the loving family man as the monument was put in place, releasing red balloons and placing flowers in his memory.

His sister, Nicola Keatley, aged 42, said: “It’s still raw and we are still completely devastated and still not come to terms with it.

“It’s been a year since Terry died and it’s been really hard for everybody.

“We could not let the day go by without doing something to pay tribute to Terry. That’s what the bike is about.

“He lived to cycle so it’s a fitting tribute to leave a bike here to remember him.”

But it is also hoped the bike, which donated by the North Cheshire Clarion Cycle Club, will act as a reminder to motorists to be aware of cyclists on the road so no family will have to deal with the same heartache they have been forced to endure.

Terry suffered serious head injuries after being involved in a crash with a car while he was out cycling.

The 47-year-old from Great Sankey suffered serious head injuries and later died in Aintree Hospital in Fazakerley.

Nicola added: “It is also for any cars that drive past to act as a reminder to them to be aware of cyclists.

“We would not want this to happen to anybody else so it is to make road users aware that cyclists belong on the roads as well.”

Michael Rollason, aged 39, from Wootton Street, Bedworth Warwickshire was charged on October 17 with causing death by dangerous driving.

He is expected to appear at Liverpool Crown Court on Friday to enter a plea to the charges.
