if there's any CCTV they can say for absolute sure that no-one else was involved but sometimes very, very rarely these things happen, people make errors in judgement that cost them dearly. Mate of mine 30 years ago cycled into the back of a parked motor and absolutely walloped himself, he was a club cyclist at the time and honestly I did take the piss and I think most of us do when others something dumb, but it's a whole different matter when you're not walking away from the scene compared just losing a bit of pride, some skin/front wheel.
Condolenses to family and friends.
