2024-10-05 Rider down, Charlmont Road, Tooting

A cyclist has been rushed to hospital following a collision with a Tesla in Tooting.

The white car smashed into the bike on Charlmont Road around 1am on Saturday.

The cyclist, a man aged 30, was taken to hospital. His condition is not life-threatening.

Pictures from the scene reveal the impact was severe enough to bend the street sign at a sharp angle over the crumpled bonnet of the car. The bike, wedged between the vehicle and the sign, appears to have borne the brunt of the collision.

Looks like an e-bike.
