2009-08-10 - Rider Down, Southwark Bridge, North side

Bad morning for it this morning. There was a really bad accident between a car and a motorbike on the embankment next to Waterloo bridge too. Motorcycle was ripped in half. Can't see how the biker will have walked away from that one, hope the cyclist faired a little better.

Yeah, I saw that on my way to work. I must've got there just minutes after it had happened. Motorbike ripped in half, car was a complete wreck. I got off to walk around the outside pavement, walked past the motorcyclist who was surrounded by paramedics. Pool of blood coming from his legs, making the most chilling moaning noises. Kind of like whimpering, like he was crying for his mum or something.
It truly is spooky to see a fully grown man in that state.

I was trying to leave earlier that morning, but got delayed. Leaves you realizing how easily you could've been caught in the crossfire. Cyclists are scarily vulnerable.
