The increase in fatalities from incidents such as this is down to a number of factors - more people cycling more often being the primary one, I think. However, I am stunned by just how similar all the incidents are.
I think a 'rule number 1' awareness campaign is necessary. As in, the first rule of cycling in the city is avoid HGVs, and the first rule of driving an HGV is quadruple check all of your blind spots when you're turning left, or something.
