2009-06-12 - Rider Down/Fatality, Holborn

Hi guys,
it's Riccardo, Emma's boyfriend, the girl of the accident.
I'm sorry if I coudn't show up before.
I've read the whole post and I see that there are few witnesses between you. One of them (I don't remember which one, I'm sorry) had also a police interrogation, as I could understand.
I had one also monday the 15th. I could explain to the detective what I could see only after the traffic light, because I was in front of all and I turned my head only when I heard her screams.
She was under the lorry hung in some ways, with the bike or clothes. I went after her shouting to make it stop. People on the pavement where shouting too.
At one point (75mt after the traffic light!) the body has been released in some ways. She was lying on the ground already dead, losing loads of blood.
The lorry stopped only 20 mt, maybe more, after the body. Then the lorry driver tried to escape, but somebody on the pavement (thanks to him) stopped him again.
I stood maybe 10 mins looking the paramedics trying to do something, then a police officer brought me away from there.
I have to thank all the people there, who helped me in that moment.

I didn't understand if there are any of you who could see what happened IN the traffic light. I could just guess it thinking about the dynamic of the accident.
If there are other witnesses who didn't write here yet who knows anything of what happened in the traffic light, I beg them to write here or to contact me in private.

Some of you said that what happened was a left turn. I know for sure that was a left turn. Does this mean that for sure it was the drivers fault?

If you organize a memorial ride for this I will be very happy. I know also about the critical mass that they do every month. Unfortunately I won't be there because I came back to Italy to stay with my family.

This is what we left in the place with few friends the day after:

and this after few days:

Please let me know if you know something that I don't know yet.
Cheers.

Riccardo
