Devastating news.
RIP rider.

Passed close by in the aftermath yesterday, very sobering on my way in.

RIP cyclist, and my thoughts are with your family and friends.

The junction was still in that state when I went by at 2pm. Damn, that picture is chilling.

RIP.

One of the cyclists interviewed for BBC news was a friend, whenever this happens you think there but for the grace of god...

Terribly sad. R.I.P

sad sad news.

heartfelt condolences to the riders friends and family.

Condolences to rider's friends and family.

I've just deleted a few posts on this thread.

Please keep it respectful and take discussions of road and traffic safety elsewhere.

RIP Victor.

Heartbreaking .....

I met the lorry driver involved in this today, he is really traumatised by the experience. An utter tragedy.

It is not unusual for drivers involved in this type of collision to be so traumatised that they never driver lorries again.

Driver has now been charged. When I met him he was utterly in denial of any responsibility.

speechless...

When I met him he was utterly in denial and blaming the cyclist for the fatality. I would have hoped for some kind of contrition by now.
