Wife of cyclist killed by pothole criticises council
The wife of a cyclist killed after hitting a pothole during a charity bike ride through North Yorkshire has criticised council bosses for failing to repair the damaged road.
Martyn Uzzell was travelling along the A65 Settle Bypass at Giggleswick when he rode into a 10cm-deep hole around a roadside drain that had not been filled in and was thrown into the path of an oncoming vehicle in June 2011.
The 51-year-old from Somerset was killed instantly.
His widow, Kate Uzzel, has criticised the council for not taking action despite being told about the defect.
