Utterly terrible news...
I went past when the blue sheets were up and still 20+ emergency services on the scene, can't have been soon after it happened, lots of m'bike fairing all over the road...
I ride that bridge twice a day and i feel sick thinking about what happened, i've had a few close calls there over time, not the safest bit of road by any stretch of the imagination.
There would be absolutley fuck all you could do about that motorbike coming towards you...defensive riding, blind spot checking...all counts for shit when your numbers up.
Fingers very crossed for all concerned.
