2014-04-03 - Rider Down/Fatality, Farringdon St junction with Fleet Street

Just drove past this as ambulance arrived. Seemed a very late ambulance arrival. Junction was tapes off to northbound and eastbound. Heavy tailbacks and heavy police prescence. Saw handlebars coming from under centre of lorry. I couldn't look anymore.

Fucking disgrace. I know I was driving at the time but nature of work dictates.

However for a vehicle of that size/nature (huge skip for commercial building works) to be coming from central at that time is beyond belief.

RIP Rider.

The heart sinks at the sight of the black logo yet again. Utterly tragic.

RIP rider, thought with your family.

Awful. RIP.

Fuck.

Sad news, but it makes you so angry.

From reading some of the accounts on Twitter (which I won't link to) I don't think there's anything the ambulance service could have done on this occasion.

RIP rider.

Tragic and heartbreaking. RIP rider

Again...
RIP

Fuck. We have had the black logo too many times this year, well 1 is too many but you know what I mean. Heart goes out to the family and friends of the rider.
Ride safe all!
