Traffic is at a stand still and a crowd has amassed. Looks like someone has been hit side on and is currently lying in the road. Their bike is currently wedged underneath the silver bmw that presumably hit them.

Hope they are okay, it does look quite serious...

Was this is at the dual pedestrian/bicycle crossing between Hackney City Farm and the top of Columbia Road? Or at the other end, where there's a side street over towards Kingsland Road?

At the other end, the car had pulled out of the side street into the cyclist.

Yes, the problematic location is at the Waterson Street junction. Best wishes to the rider.

That's not far from where I was hit. Best wishes to the rider ... hope they pull through okay!

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:

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.
