2009-10-14 - Rider Down/Fatality, corner of Leman st, Commercial rd, and Whitechapel

So, until it's confirmed, I am hoping it's not a fatality.

Me too. Thoughts with family, and friends.

The reason I'm holding out some hope is that at 10am, there are usually scores of people twittering about such an accident or delays or whatever. The news services also tend to make it onto the scene and yet google news and twitter are both coming up empty.

Sad news. Hoping it wasn't fatal too.

That new road layout is a right mess. It's much busier now and more confusing. I have been beeped numerous times, while waiting to turn right into Leman St, by drivers who don't realise it's a right turn only lane.

This news is tragic. I can't believe it's happenned again so soon. My thoughts are with the victim and the familly.

Let's hope for good news.

So sad to hear about another accident, this seems to be happening far, far too often!

If she has passed then i hope it's to somewhere better...

terrible news.looks like i will writing to my mp again.what should i say this time ? you and your dumb policies have killed another person who was poor / trying to be green.probably too strong ?but as you all know i think there is something fundamentally wrong with our public realm.

but first of all thoughts and prayers with the victim, family and friends.

Oh God, No!! RIP.

Yet another tradegy. It's just so sad.

i think i am gonna do critical mass again. it is, after all, our biggest co-ordinated effort at a protest against the status quo.

sigh...

Oh no, fingers crossed for a good outcome. RIP if not..

Oh God, No!! RIP.

Yet another tradegy. It's just so sad.

it's not confrimed, don't says that.

here's hoping she'll pull through.

A friend of mine has to deal with these kinds of fatalities. Being a Fireman and all...
:/

just saw on twitter that a woman got hit by the 29 somewhere in London today and was taken away in ambulance. Hope you ok lady. Any more info on this Leman St incident? Every time I read these threads I just freak out...lets hope it wasn't a fatality...Digger - was that confirmed? :( x

Awful news, whether fatal or serious.

It's too early for more information to come out.

I havent posted much on these forums but ive read them and also read some fixie blogs. I have to sya i hadnt noticed anything like this happenign for a while.

Very sad indeed :(

My friend who witnessed it says there is no doubt, a guy crawled under the bus to attempt to help but there was nothing to be done, my friend found a link to a report on a local London news service, which I haven't managed to find, she says the cyclists name was Claire. My friend says she will send me the link tomorrow and I will post it here.

Jesus, what a horrific scene.

sounds bleak.... but here's hoping for the best until anything is confirmed.. thoughts & prayers to the lady, friends & family

tragic. thoughts to her family and friends.

Thoughts go out to family and friends...shouldn't have to be this way

RIP Claire.

:(

each time i read one of these threads it touches me and worries me re the safety of all of us

thoughts go out to family and loved ones

Echoing what others have said, Rest in peace, thoughts with family and friends

hmm, so sad... if it is indeed fatal. I really hope not though.
