Rode past this just after it happened earlier - Police, Ambulances and Fire all in attendance.

The Plain is a particularly horrible roundabout in Oxford with buses, cars, lorries and bikes all fighting for space on a narrow road.

Unfortunately the local trash paper linked above are notorious for bear baiting drivers and cyclists, so I expect there to be some horrid comments on the article.

Thoughts are with the rider

Very sad to see. Thoughts are with them. I gather there was another bad incident earlier in the day that involved a cyclist.

RIP rider.

Lorry driver has been charged with causing death by careless driving whilst unfit through drugs, causing death by driving unlicensed and causing death by driving without insurance.

I knew both her husband and her, but had not kept in touch since we studied together a while back. I cannot believe this news.
Utterly devastating, and a real loss to her field.
RIP Ling.

The saddest thing is probably that she had two small children, aged three and five, who have now lost their mother. She was only 35.

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:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
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

> Quote text by starting lines with >

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
