Blair gives his sympathy

TONY BLAIR yesterday expressed his "deepest sympathy" to the families of those killed in the Abergele cycling tragedy.

Four members of Rhyl Cycling Club died, and eight were injured, after a car skidded on ice and collided with them on a notorious section of the A547.

The cyclists - Maurice Broadbent, 62, David Horrocks, 55, Wayne Wilkes, 42, and 14-year-old Thomas Harland - died when a Toyota Corolla crashed into them at 10.10am on Sunday January 8.

Two other accidents took place in the area that morning - a mile away at 5.26am, and also on the exact same corner at 9am.

Mr Blair vowed to act on any lessons identified by a report into the tragedy ordered by Welsh secretary Peter Hain.

Mr Hain will meet members of Rhyl Cycling Club on Friday and visit the crash site.

He said: "I would like to express, and I'm sure on behalf of the whole House, our deepest sympathy and condolences to the families of those who were so tragically killed."

Tory leader David Cameron said: "Can I associate myself with the remarks the prime minister has just made about the dreadful accident."
