Crash at Stockwell Station 2017-04-17

There are some loonies out tonight. I've just been hit by a speeding driver breaking more traffic laws than I can begin to count, l who just hit me and drove off. As I got up, bleeding, bruised and broken, a man parked up his car, and as I was about to thank him for his generosity, he yelled at me 'I hate people like you, I'm reporting you to the police for hitting that car. I hate cyclists, and so I'd be happier had you not been alive, would have served you right'.

I went to Stockwell station, and when I explained, they said that I couldn't use the tube for health and safety reasons.

Limping out of the station, I saw a crazed man attack a woman and her child, entirely unprovoked. It's apparently a 1h 46min walk home, and that doesn't factor in the knee I fucked up in the crash. I should be fine, but this is just to remind you all that no level of careful cycling, lights, helmets, etc, can protect you from joyriders with no regard for the law.

Stay safe, guys.

Well that sounds absolutely shit on several levels. Have you called the police or ambulance or anything?

Wtf! Crazy people out there for sure.
Get well soon mate

Sorry to hear and hope you're ok. Did you hit your head?

Woah. Get yourself to the walk in at St. Thomas' mate - heal up soon. You get the reg (of both cunts?)

Please call an ambulance and the police.

Please call an ambulance and the police.

Very much this

The police have been called. I'm going into a station tomorrow, with my reference, but I should be fine, regarding my injuries. This was more to remind you guys that it gets dangerous out here. Stay safe, people!

I the only registration plate I got was the woman whose car I hit after the crash. She was lovely, and so I at least will have some support when dealing with the police.

Ok - heal up fella.

Shit this sounds awful. Keep us up to date with this. Hope the recovery goes well.

Wow, that really sucks. Hope you're feeling a bit better this morning. Good luck with the Police.

Hope you've managed to get yourself checked over and to talk to the police by now, ShutUpBlud?

No doubt you've already seen this thread, but just in case:

Heal soon.

(You could also edit the thread title to include the date of the crash, in the format yyyy-mm-dd. That will make it easier to find it for future reference.)

I almost forgot about this thread, but thought I'd update.

I didn't hit my head, and my injuries were minimal. There was grazing to my knees, arms, etc, but, a little more seriously, I ended up with swelling under the kneecap, causing some dislodged cartilage, causing me quite a lot of pain. I've made a full recovery now, however, but my knees do feel worse for wear. I did get fully checked out at hospital, so there is at least now a medical record for the police to reference.

The police have began an enquiry, attempting to find the car that hit me, and the driver that is responsible. Substantial damage has been done, so I will be disappointed if the perpetrator is not caught.

On the up side, however, my recovery was quick, and not all too hard. I feel lucky because I know that, had I been cycling only a little faster that day, I may not be here, right now.

Stay safe, guys, and stay as critical as one must be, of dangerous drivers.

The police have now closed this case - with no resolution. Let this be a lesson - if in an accident, always yake down as many details as you can, as soon as possible.

Sooo typical... Sorry to hear that buddy. Silver lining at least you recovered quickly
