2009-09-16 - Rider Down/Fatality, Whitechapel Road

Corner of Whitechapel Rd & Vallance Rd.
I asked the officer if it was a cyclist as i could see helmet/courier bag in the road.
He informed that it was a fatality but couldn't confirm male/female.

Very very sad start to the morning.

Very sad news. I went through there as well this morning and saw the roads closed, didn't stop to ask why. They'd also closed Leman Street (my usual route) heading South from Aldgate East, no idea why.
