Hearing reports of a gentleman under a lorry... Do hope this has a good outcome.

Evening Standard report here:

Hoping cyclist pulls through. Sounds like there could be nasty injuries.

Overheard this on my bus drivers radio this morning, heart sank. Hope they pull through.

I cycled through here the other day and it was a complete cluster fuck. So sad to hear this news, hope he pulls through!

Cycled past this this morning, after they'd got him out (around 9.15). A lot of blood and a very mangled bike under the truck. Hope he's ok, that area is a nightmare with all the works going on at the moment. Fingers crossed "He was taken to a south London hospital with a serious leg injury, police said." implies he's going to be ok.

Pretty typical Standard reporting "Stockwell Park" ...erm you mean Vauxhall Park or even Larkhall Park by any chance

Any way, heal up rider. I cycle through Vauxhall on my commute, going North isn't too bad - going south is a complete cluster fuck

Cement truck was turning right at this junction, then changed his mind and veered left, into path of rider.
Cops told me this from CCTV footage. Dangerous driving.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
