Just saw this, about 14:50 on Parkhurst Road.
Female rider on a black dutch bike. According to a motorcyclist who stopped to call the ambulance she was bombing it down Parkhurst road with no helmet and tried to hop onto the curb from the bus lane at about 20 mph and goes straight over the hadlebars face-first into the pavement.
I stopped to just see what was going on but there was already a few people around, one guy on the phone to 999 and a couple of people trying to speak to her.
She wasn't moving except for a some small finger movements (arms were splayed out) and there was a lot of blood around her face/head. One person was holding a tissue to the back of her head.
I didn't see her face and don't think she was completely conscious.
Couldn't really make myself useful so just rode-on feeling a bit sick.
Hope she heals up ok and hasn't fucked-up her teeth or anything.
