Walked past an incident a couple of hours ago. Rider was down, bike under the car. Driver didn't see rider and went right into him. Luckily traffic was stationary and she was driving into the carriage from a side road.
Rider was on the ground but conscious and was sitting. Clearly shocked and with pain in legs and arms. Someone called ambulance.
Helped driver get the bike unstuck from under her car (left pedal was slammed stuck into front car mudguard)
Rider was on the protected contraflow cycle track, clearly she only looked for oncoming traffic without checking for riders on the cycle track.
Luckily nothing serious but could have been worse.
