Terrible news, hope for the best.
That stretch of road has been improved recently in response to another cycling death but it is still dangerous.
For your own safety you have to get over towards the middle lane thing early to avoid people cutting across you.
This can be very daunting and I suspect some problems are caused when a cyclist/cars leave it too late to get positioned in the lane they need to be in.
Issues of lack of confidence and carelessness both come into play.
Unfortunately the bike will always come of worse.
