Thanks, coshgirl. Here's the link:
I think it's unusual for someone to be arrested for causing GBH by dangerous driving. The way his condition is reported sounds more worrying, though.

Another story, in the Hackney Gazette, although as usual it only seems to be a write-up of a police press release.

Update on this. Unfortunately, the cyclist has died. RIP: https://www.standard.co.uk/news/transport/cyclist-injured-hackney-car-crash-dies-hospital-b1111349.html

This is really awful. Condolences to his family and friends. I wonder if the charges against the driver will have to be amended.
I've started another thread on the (completely unrelated) serious crash mentioned at the end of the above article:
-
He has been named as Harry Webb. RIP Harry.
-
The driver's trial is underway, but has been adjourned for three months (at the prosecution's request):
A woman driver has appeared in court in connection with the death of a cyclist in an alleged hit-and-run collision in Hackney.
Tiffany Treanor-Johnson, 25, has been charged with two counts of failing to stop after a collision in Kenworthy Road, Hackney, on September 10 last year.
Harry Webb, a 27-year-old music student, died in hospital two days later after sustaining “terrible” injuries.
The charges don't include causing death by careless or dangerous driving. Other charges may be added after the adjournment:
He said the two charges faced by his client were “holding charges” which were likely to be replaced at a later hearing by more serious charges, depending on the completion of the police investigation. He said Treanor-Johnson was likely to plead not guilty to all charges.

Critical Mass rode to the scene last Friday and placed a ghost bike in memoriam of Harry, done with his family's blessing.

Awful incident in the Standard today. A cyclist in his 20s is fighting for his life after being hit by car which then struck another vehicle yesterday evening. The driver, a 24-year-old woman, has been arrested for causing GBH by dangerous driving and remains in custody. Fingers crossed he pulls through.
