2023-05-24 Fatality at Junction of Howland Street and Charlotte St, Fitzrovia

A follow-up article with research on the lorry and the (unapproved) route the driver took after leaving a building site:

The man, who was said by the Met to be in his 20s but whose name has not been released, was believed to have been riding a Lime rental e-bike at the time he collided with a 32-tonne tipper truck that had exited Derwent’s Network Building site nearby.

The lorry driver had turned left from Howland Street into the northern end of Charlotte Street – a route not permitted in the “construction management plan” drawn up by the developer and the council as a condition of Derwent’s planning consent.

The approved route would have taken the driver straight across Howland Street into New Cavendish Street and eventually onto Marylebone Road.

It's still not quite clear in which direction the rider was travelling:

Police investigators have appealed for witnesses and motorists with dashcam video evidence to come forward.

It is thought that the cyclist was riding west along Howland Street – where there is a segregated cycle lane, though there is no separation at the junction with Charlotte Street.

However, there is a possibility that he was cycling north on Charlotte Street and was hit head-on by the turning vehicle.

I hope that they get good evidence and/or witnesses.
