Rode past this today, another fatalities in the notorious Elephant and Castle.
Safer junction my arse.

Don't get me wrong, Ed, I'd be the first to say that the new layout that is emerging is a horrible, confused mess that has been designed with entirely the wrong parameters concerning almost every aspect (and I think that they will need to re-design the whole thing again very soon), but a couple of things are worth noting here.
The Elephant and Castle consists of a couple of quite complex junctions, not just one.
We don't have any information on how the crash was caused yet.
The area is also still under construction. That more crashes occur near ongoing roadworks is a well-established fact. It's far too early to say anything definitive other than that.
RIP unknown rider.

Yea, unfortunately the incident is a fatality now, so serious collision investigation will be under way.
