• I've moved this here from the minor incident thread. Just heard they opened the road, then re-closed it, this worries me-

    Reports of a couple of riders down at junction of Millbank and Vauxhall Bridge. Was coming along the embankment on the way to work and saw the road closure. Heart dropped, particularly after the terrible news last week just down the road at Lambeth Bridge.

    Colleague was close by and helped stop traffic, suggests one facial injury, one more serious and stretchered into an ambulance. Heal up riders, be careful out there people. T

  • From the Ross Lydall twitter feed - "Incident on Millbank 8am: cyclist apparently in collision with two pedestrians, both of whom were taken to Royal London with head injuries"

  • Now being reported as just the two riders down - assume they hit each other - no pedestrians involved and no hospital visit. No idea where some of this information comes from TBH.

  • Road was closed till about 11 so must have been moderately serious. Very confusing.

  • All explained here: http://www.cyclingfeeds.com/collision-between-cyclists-holds-up-london-traffic-at-millbank/

    Two separate incidents involving 3 cyclists and two pedestrians in the space of an hour. Looks like the peds came off worse. Hope they all make a speedy recovery.

    Need to be careful at this junction with the increase in cyclists now summer is coming. The long wait at the lights means quite a peleton builds up. This then gets squeezed as two lanes of straight on motor traffic becomes one on Millbank. Take it slow and steady...

  • Huh by the looks of the piece I passed about 10 mins after this happened - didn't see anything in terms of aftermath though. Hope everyone's alright. There were loads of cyclists at that junction today - I feel like I'm having to re-learn commuting by bike after winter due to the numbers (mainly checking for people trying to under take!)
