Saw the investigation unit out and road closure on my way back from work this evening. Doesn't sound pleasant at all. Early reports of a cyclist hit but appears to be confusion as there was a bike on the ground nearby. Can't see a report anywhere else yet https://www.mylondon.news/news/zone-1-news/chancery-lane-pedestrian-thrown-10-16480063
Yes, that doesn't sound like a cyclist. Fingers crossed he survives. It also comes hot on the heels of this:

Years ago, the percentage given for fatal crashes caused by emergency service vehicles was about 1%. I don't know if that was ever correct, or what the current figure is.
